For the first time in company history, the Met presents the original five-act French version of Verdi鈥檚 epic opera of doomed love among royalty, set against the backdrop of the Spanish Inquisition.

Yannick N茅zet-S茅guin leads a world-beating cast of opera鈥檚 leading lights, including tenor Matthew Polenzani in the title role, soprano Sonya Yoncheva as 脡lisabeth de Valois, and mezzo-soprano El墨na Garan膷a as Eboli. Bass G眉nther Groissb枚ck and bass-baritone John Relyea are Philippe II and the Grand Inquisitor, and baritone 脡tienne Dupuis rounds out the all-star principal cast as Rodrigue. Verdi鈥檚 masterpiece receives a monumental new staging by Sir David McVicar that marks his 11th Met production, placing him among the most prolific and popular directors in recent Met memory.
