Wagner from the Met in high-def
[...] in its 10th season, the Metropolitan Opera’s series of live high-definition simulcasts has evolved to be one of the company’s most distinctive signature offerings.
Even without the immediacy of an actual visit to the opera house — which, let’s face it, is prohibitive for most West Coast denizens — these broadcasts provide a way for opera lovers to keep abreast of the company’s doings.
Tenor Johan Botha stars in the title role, with Eva-Maria Westbroek as Elisabeth, Michelle DeYoung as Venus and Peter Mattei as Wolfram.
