Tom Sawyer - A Play With Music

Thursday February 13, 2014 - Sun Feb 23, 2014

This great American story has been enjoyed for years by both children and adults, unequaled in its evocation of the Mississippi River and the lives of those who live along its shores. Touching, funny, and always engrossing, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is, and probably always will be, a much beloved American classic. In this production, Tom Sawyer's greatest exploits, along with his best friend Huckleberry Finn and love interest Becky Thatcher, are plucked from the book and set delightfully onto the stage. Mark Twain himself travels forward in time to narrate this production that features a musical accompaniment of classic American music. Tom Sawyer is never dull, always funny, sometimes poignant, and not to be missed.

Met Opera on Julie Harris Stage

Dvořák's Rusalka


February 8, 2014, 12:55 pm
Encore: February 15 @ 12:55 PM

The great Renée Fleming returns to one of her signature roles, singing the enchanting "Song to the Moon" in Dvorák's soulful fairy-tale opera. Tenor Piotr Beczala co-stars as the Prince, Dolora Zajick is Ježibaba, and dynamic young maestro Yannick Nézet-Séguin is on the podium.

Borodin's Prince Igor


March 1, 2014, 12 pm

Encore: March 8 @ 12PM

Borodin's defining Russian epic, famous for its Polovtsian Dances, comes to the Met for the first time in nearly 100 years. Dmitri Tcherniakov's new production is a brilliant psychological journey through the mind of its conflicted hero, with the founding of the Russian nation as the backdrop. Star bass-baritone Ildar Abdrazakov takes on the monumental title role, with Gianandrea Noseda conducting.

Massenet's Werther


March 15, 2014, 12:55 pm
Encore: March 22 @ 12:55 PM

Jonas Kaufmann stars in the title role of Massenet's sublime adaptation of Goethe's revolutionary and tragic romance, opposite Sophie Koch as Charlotte. The new production is directed and designed by Richard Eyre and Rob Howell, the same team that created the Met's recent hit staging of Carmen. Rising young maestro Alain Altinoglu conducts.

Puccini's La Bohème


April 5, 2014, 12:55 pm
Encore: April 12 @ 12:55 PM

Puccini's moving story of young love is the most performed opera in Met history—and with good reason. Anita Hartig stars as the frail Mimì in Franco Zeffirelli's classic production, with Vittorio Grigolo as her passionate lover, Rodolfo.
