For gorgeous melody, spellbinding coloratura, and virtuoso vocal fireworks, I Puritani has few equals. On January 10, the first new Met production of Bellini鈥檚 final masterpiece in nearly 50 years鈥攁 striking staging by Charles Edwards, who makes his company directorial debut after many successes as a set designer鈥攁rrives in cinemas worldwide.

The Met has assembled a world-beating quartet of stars, conducted by Marco Armiliato, for the demanding principal roles. Soprano Lisette Oropesa and tenor Lawrence Brownlee are Elvira and Arturo, brought together by love and torn apart by the political rifts of the English Civil War, with baritone Artur Ruci艅ski as Riccardo, betrothed to Elvira against her will, and bass-baritone Christian Van Horn as Elvira鈥檚 sympathetic uncle, Giorgio.

After years of anticipation, a truly unmissable event arrives in cinemas worldwide on March 21 as the electrifying Lise Davidsen tackles one of the ultimate roles for dramatic soprano: the Irish princess Isolde in Wagner鈥檚 transcendent meditation on love and death. Heroic tenor Michael Spyres stars opposite Davidsen as the love-drunk Tristan.

The momentous occasion also marks the advent of a new, Met-debut staging by Yuval Sharon鈥攈ailed by The New York Times as 鈥渢he most visionary opera director of his generation鈥� and the first American to direct an opera at the famed Wagner festival in Bayreuth鈥攁s well as Music Director Yannick N茅zet-S茅guin鈥檚 first time leading Tristan und Isolde at the Met. Mezzosoprano Ekaterina Gubanova reprises her portrayal of Brang盲ne, alongside bass-baritone Tomasz Konieczny, who sings Kurwenal after celebrated Met appearances in Wagner鈥檚 Der Fliegende Holl盲nder and Ring cycle. Bass-baritone Ryan Speedo Green makes an important role debut as King Marke.

On May 30, the Metropolitan Opera鈥檚 2025鈥�26 Live in HD season comes to a close with a live transmission of American composer Gabriela Lena Frank鈥檚 first opera, a magical-realist portrait of Mexico鈥檚 painterly power couple Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, with libretto by Pulitzer Prize鈥搘inning playwright Nilo Cruz. Fashioned as a reversal of the Orpheus and Euridice myth, the story depicts Frida, sung by leading mezzo-soprano Isabel Leonard, leaving the underworld on the Day of the Dead and reuniting with Diego, portrayed by baritone Carlos 脕lvarez.

The famously feuding pair briefly relive their tumultuous love, embracing both the passion and the pain before bidding the land of the living a final farewell. Music Director Yannick N茅zet-S茅guin conducts the Met-premiere staging of Frank鈥檚 opera, a 鈥渃onfident, richly imagined score鈥� (The New Yorker) that 鈥渂ursts with color and fresh individuality鈥� (Los Angeles Times). The vibrant new production, taking enthusiastic inspiration from Frida and Diego鈥檚 paintings, is directed and choreographed by Deborah Colker.
