Met Opera Live in HD: Berloiz's Les Troyens

Comments (0) By Olivia Flores Alvarez Thursday, Jun 14 2012

The famed giant horse is just the beginning of the story of the Trojan war in the Met Opera Live in HD: Berlioz's Les Troyens. An encore broadcast to theaters across the United States, the Met production features performances by Deborah Voigt as Cassandra, the prophetess who predicts the doom of Troy; Susan Graham as Dido, the king's widow, who rebuilds his kingdom on a foreign shore; and Bryan Hymel as Aeneas, the warrior who first wins and then breaks Dido's heart. We admit that with a running time of more than five hours, Les Troyens requires a bit of a commitment from fans, but Joyce DiDonato, host for this installment of Live in HD, keeps things moving between scenes with backstage interviews with the cast, director, designers and crew.
