‘On Screen’ Met Live in HD, Arabella

Met Live in HD, Arabella: Tuesday, Dec. 9 at 1pm  Strauss’s elegant romance brings the glamour and enchantment of 19th-century Vienna to the Met stage in a sumptuous production by legendary director Otto Schenk that “is as beautiful as one could hope” (The New York Times). Compelling soprano Rachel Willis-Sørensen makes her role debut as Arabella, a young noblewoman in search of love on her own terms. Soprano Louise Alder makes her Met debut as her sister, Zdenka, and bass-baritone Tomasz Konieczny is the dashing count who sweeps Arabella off her feet.

Running from now until June, you can view a diverse sampling of the world’s best performers at the height of their careers in productions from The Met: Live in HD and National Theatre Live. These on-screen events give you the best seat in the house from the comfort of your own island. In December, Orcas Center is showing three performances: Arabella, The Magic Flute and Life of Pi.
