Cherubini’s Medea 

Live transmission in cinemas in Belfast, Cork, Donegal, Dublin, Galway, Kerry, Limerick, Sligo and Wexford on Saturday 22 October at 17:55pm 

The Met: Live in HD, the Metropolitan Opera’s award-winning series of live high-definition cinema simulcasts, will begin its 16th season with the company premiere of Cherubini’s Medea on Saturday 22 October at 17:55pm. Following triumphant performances at the Met as some of the repertory’s most dramatic heroines, soprano Sondra Radvanovsky stars as the mythic sorceress Medea, who will stop at nothing in her quest for vengeance, taking on the tour-de-force role made famous by Maria Callas.  

Joining Radvanovsky is tenor Matthew Polenzani as Medea’s husband, Giasone (Jason the Argonaut); soprano Janai Brugger as the rival for his love, Glauce; bass Michele Pertusi as Glauce’s father, Creonte, the King of Corinth; and mezzo-soprano Ekaterina Gubanova as Neris, Medea’s confidante.  

The production is directed by David McVicar, who also designed the sets, with Carlo Rizzi on the podium. Mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato will host the live transmission.
