We return to The Met this season for a programme of carefully selected operas with several important debuts by impressive young singers, including the high-flying tenor Jack Swanson, as well as appearances by the Russian soprano Aigul Akhmetshina who thrilled Glyndebourne audiences in 2024. Meanwhile, the Norwegian soprano Lise Davidsen continues to impress in New York and adds the taxing role of Leonora in Fidelio to her list of successes at The Met. Christina Nilsson, taking the title role in 'Aida', is the latest star from Sweden, and representing Britain are the conductor Alexander Soddy, and the tenor David Butt Philip. Our carefully chosen selection of performances includes the Met’s best-loved productions of Puccini's 'La bohème' by Franco Zeffirelli, and a new production of Verdi’s 'Aida'.
