Performance Introduction

Sponsored by the Asian Art and Music Promotion Foundation, the acclaimed "Metropolitan Opera HD Series" is once again shown in major cinemas! In the "U.S. Metropolitan Opera HD Series: Hong Kong Twelve Years Retrospective" held this year, Hong Kong audiences can once again enjoy 11 sets of wonderful productions selected from past seasons in major theaters, all of which are popular with the public. Superstar performance. In addition, the Metropolitan Opera House of the United States will also present new special programs, which audiences will also be able to watch in Hong Kong.

Ever since graduating from the Met’s Lindemann Young Artist Development Program, Lisette Oropesa has had a meteoric career around the world, excelling in some of the pinnacles of the soprano repertoire. During the 2019–20 season, she returned to the Met stage to star in her largest role with the company to date, the irresistible heroine of Massenet’s Manon. As the young ingenue, Oropesa delivers a stunning performance, marked by brilliant coloratura, melting lyricism, and enchanting stage presence. Recorded as part of the Met’s Live in HD series of cinema transmissions, this performance also features tenor Michael Fabiano as the impetuous Chevalier des Grieux and baritone Artur Rucinski as Lescaut. Maurizio Benini is on the podium to lead one of the most passionate scores in the French operatic repertoire.
