Sensational in the 2004 Met premiere of Stephen Wadsworth’s much-heralded production,
Renée Fleming reprises the title role. She’s joined by Stephanie Blythe and countertenor
Andreas Scholl, and Baroque specialist Harry Bicket conducts.

Saturday, December 10, 2011 – Noon
With Jonas Kaufmann in the title role, René Pape as the devil, and Marina Poplavskaya
as Marguerite, Gounod’s classic retelling of the Faust legend couldn’t be better served.
Tony Award-winning director Des McAnuff updates the story to the first half of the
20th century with a production that won praise in London last season. A later run
features two other first-tier Fausts: Roberto Alagna and Joseph Calleja, with FerruccioFurlanetto
stepping in as the devil. YannickNézet-Séguin conducts on the heels of his Don Carlo
success.
The Enchanted Island (Handel, Vivaldi and others)
Saturday, January 21, 2012 – Noon
Inspired by the musical pastiches and masques of the 18th century, the Met presents
an original Baroque fantasy, featuring a who’s who of Baroque stars led by eminent
conductor William Christie. With music by Handel, Vivaldi, Rameau, and others, the
new libretto by Jeremy Sams combines elements of The Tempest and A Midsummer Night’s
Dream. David Daniels is Prospero, Joyce DiDonato is Sycorax, Danielle de Niese is
Ariel, Luca Pisaroni is Caliban, and Plácido Domingo makes a special appearance as
Neptune. LisetteOropesa and Anthony Roth Costanzo also star. This dazzling production
is directed and designed by Phelim McDermott and Julian Crouch (Satyagraha and the
Met’s 125th Anniversary Gala).
