The exhilarating soprano Lise Davidsen brings one of her signature roles to the Met for the first
time as the mythological Greek heroine of Strauss’s enchanting masterpiece. The outstanding
cast also features mezzo-soprano Isabel Leonard as the Composer of the opera-within-an-opera
around which the plot revolves, with soprano Brenda Rae as the spirited Zerbinetta, tenor
Brandon Jovanovich as Ariadne’s lover, the god Bacchus, and Thomas Allen as the Major-Domo.
Marek Janowski conducts.
