The Enchanted Island – New Production Encore - Sunday, January 22 at 4pm Expected Running time: 3 hours, 35 mins
In one extraordinary new work, lovers of Baroque opera have it all: the
world’s best singers, glorious music of the Baroque masters, and a story
drawn from Shakespeare. In The Enchanted Island, the lovers from
Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream are shipwrecked on his
other-worldly island of The Tempest. Inspired by the musical pastiches
and masques of the 18th century, the work showcases arias and ensembles
by Handel, Vivaldi, Rameau, and others, and a new libretto devised and
written by Jeremy Sams. Eminent conductor William Christie leads an
all-star cast with David Daniels (Prospero) and Joyce DiDonato (Sycorax)
as the formidable foes, Plácido Domingo as Neptune, Danielle de Niese
as Ariel, and Luca Pisaroni as Caliban. Lisette Oropesa and Anthony Roth
Costanzo play Miranda and Ferdinand. The dazzling production is
directed and designed by Phelim McDermott and Julian Crouch (Satyagraha
and the Met’s 125 anniversary gala).
