WAGNER'S SIEGFRIED TO BE SIMULCAST AT SUNY SULLIVAN

AS PART OF THE METROPOLITAN OPERA: LIVE IN HD SERIES

 

LOCH SHELDRAKE, NY (November 2, 2011) – On Saturday, November 5 at 12:00 pm, SUNY Sullivan will present an HD simulcast of Wagner's, Siegfried, as it is performed live at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York's Lincoln Center. The broadcast – part of the college's The Met: 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.

In part three of the Ring, Wagner's cosmic vision focuses on his hero's early conquests, while Robert Lepage's revolutionary stage machine transforms itself from bewitched forest to mountaintop love nest. Gary Lehman sings the title role and Deborah Voigt's Brünnhilde is his prize. Bryn Terfel is the Wanderer. Fabio Luisi conducts.

The simulcast will be preceded by a one-hour discussion. Please arrive early to take part in this informative pre-show presentation. Light refreshments will be available during intermission in the DeHoyos Gallery, adjacent to the theater.

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.
