This broadcast is a highlight of a production from last fall, conducted by Riccardo Frizza. WRTI will carry the broadcast live from the Metropolitan Opera House, as part of the Met\u2019s Saturday matinee series.<\/p>\n<p>La Sonnambula features a libretto written by Felice Romani, based on a ballet-pantomime written by Eug\u00e8ne Scribe. It recounts a tale of a somnambulist, Amina, whose sleepwalking puts her in a compromising situation with Rodolfo, the long-lost son of the village\u2019s count. The rival Lisa antagonizes the situation, encouraging Amina\u2019s betrothed, Elvino, to doubt Amina\u2019s honor.<\/p>\n<p>This production featured soprano Nadine Sierra as the village girl, Amina, and tenor Xabier Anduaga as her betrothed. Bass Alexander Vingradov is Rodolfo, the count\u2019s son, and soprano Sydney Mancasola is Lisa, Amina\u2019s rival.<\/p>\n<p>Cast:<\/p>\n<p>Nadine Sierra as AminaXabier Anduaga as ElvinoAlexander Vinogradov as RodolfoSydney Mancasola as Lisa<\/p>\n<p>Conducted by Riccardo Frizza<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tune in on Saturday, April 25 at 1 p.m. for the Metropolitan Opera\u2019s broadcast of Vincenzo Bellini\u2019s bel&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":203433,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[98,100,99,9,24,63],"class_list":{"0":"post-203432","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-brooklyn","8":"tag-brooklyn","9":"tag-brooklyn-headlines","10":"tag-brooklyn-news","11":"tag-new-york","12":"tag-new-york-city","13":"tag-nyc"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/203432","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=203432"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/203432\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/203433"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=203432"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=203432"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=203432"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
