Complex
The
high definition screenings of Metropolitan Opera productions continue once
again at the Cultural Center of the Philippines
with Maria Stuarda showing on on July 9, 2013 at 2:00 and 7:00 PM
at the CCP’s Tanghalang Aurelio Tolentino (CCP Little Theater). This tragic
opera by Gaetano Donizetti is the fourth Met Opera production to be screened at
the CCP following last month’s viewing of the romantic comedy L’Elisir D’Amore which is another opera
by Donizetti.
This
opera tells about the rivalry between Queen Elizabeth I and Mary Stuart (Mary,
Queen of Scots) not only for the throne of England
but also for the heart of Robert Dudley, the Earl of Leicester. With the
massive popularity of the television series Game of Thrones and its source materials, the novels of A Song of Ice and Fire, Maria Stuarda is a timely staging with
all the intrigues and scheming involved in the story. American mezzo-soprano
Joyce DiDonato leads the cast in the title role of Mary Stuart. Joining
DiDonato are Elza van den Heever as Queen Elizabeth I and Matthew Polenzani as
Robert Dudley, the Earl of Leicester who was also Nemorino from L’Elisir D’Amore.
Also included in the cast are Joshua Hopkins as William (Guglielmo) Cecil, Lord
Burghley,, Matthew Rose as George Talbot, the Earl of Shrewsbury. This
production of Maria Stuarda is directed by David McVicar while Maurizio Benini
conducts.
The
Metropolitan Opera in HD screenings are delivered, using the high definition
format and in Dolby Surround sound. During the opera’s intermission, special
features such as behind-the-scenes look and interviews with the cast are shown.
The Metropolitan Opera in HD at the CCP concludes with the showing of The Tempest on August 20, 2013 at 2:00 and 7:00 PM .
