Enjoy a rare revival of Berlioz’ epic, starring Bryan Hymel, Deborah Voigt and Susan Graham.

Conductor Fabio Luisi leads a rare revival of Berlioz’ five-act epic, based on Virgil’s Aeneid. Bryan Hymel stars as Aeneas, the Trojan hero whose adventures take him from the fall of Troy to the shores of the North African kingdom of Carthage. Deborah Voigt sings Cassandra, the Trojan prophetess who tries to warn her countrymen of the dangers about to befall them, and Susan Graham makes her Met role debut as Dido, the Carthaginian queen who gives her heart to Aeneas, with disastrous consequences, in Francesca Zambello’s critically acclaimed production. Mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato hosts.
