The opera opens on April 23 and runs through May 9. The David Alden revival will mark the first time that James Levine has conducted the opera at the Met in nearly 20 years. Russian baritone Alexey Markov, who sang Germont in Verdi’s
La Traviata and Robert in Tchaikovsky’s
Iolanta earlier this season, will sing Anckarström in the May 6 and 9 performances.
Tickets and additional performance information is available
online.
After wrapping up
Ballo, Hvorostovsky leaves to perform concerts in St. Petersburg, Munich, Calistoga and Yountville, California.
