Verdi’s Il Trovatore to be Simulcast at SUNY Sullivan as Part of the Metropolitan Opera: Live in HD Series

 

LOCH SHELDRAKE, NY (April 25, 2011) – On Saturday, April 30 at 1:00 pm, SUNY Sullivan will present an HD simulcast of Verdi’s, Il Trovatore, as it is performed live at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York’s Lincoln Center. The broadcast – part of the college’s Metropolitan Opera: Live In HD Series – is open to the public, and will be shown in the school’s Seelig Theater. Tickets are $20.00 each for general admission and $10.00 each for students.

SUNY Sullivan is proud to take part in this Peabody and Emmy Award winning series. With state of the art audio and visual capabilities, the Seelig Theater is an ideal venue to see and hear these performances come alive. Light refreshments will be available during intermissions in the adjacent DeHoyos Gallery.

David McVicar’s stirring production of Verdi’s intense drama premiered in the 2008–09 season. James Levine leads this revival, starring four extraordinary singers – Sondra Radvanovsky, Dolora Zajick, Marcelo Álvarez, and Dmitri Hvorostovsky – in what might be the composer’s most melodically rich score.

The penultimate simulcast of the 2010-2011 series, Il Trovatore will be followed by the finale – Wagner’s Die Walkure – on May 14.
