The Metropolitan Opera Opera Film La Sonnambula in Beijing
Date: Jan 20 - 1:30 pm
Venue: National Center for the Performing Arts
Price: 60 yuan
Just as a young woman is about to marry her sweetheart, she is discovered - by the entire village, to say nothing of her fiance - asleep in the bedroom of a stranger. It takes the young man two acts to figure out that sleepwalking is to blame, and everything ends happily. Natalie Dessay as Amina and Juan Diego Fl��rez as Elvino deliver bel canto magic and vocal fireworks in Mary Zimmerman's 2009 production. The Tony Award-winning director transfers Bellini's bucolic tale to a rehearsal room in contemporary New York, where an opera company rehearses La Sonnambula - and where the singers are truly in love with each other.
