LIVE from the MET
Armida Live Broadcast
by Rossini
Renée Fleming, Lawrence Brownlee, Bruce Ford, José Manuel Zapata.
Malvern Theatres brings you Rossini's Armida in a Live Broadcast direct from the Metropolitan Opera, New York.
The subject matter for Rossini’s 1817 opera Armida was widely popular from the seventeenth through the early twentieth centuries. Indeed, there are almost 100 operas and ballets that employ the story of the Saracen sorceress and her desire for the Christian warrior, Rinaldo. The source material is Torquato Tasso’s epic poem Gerusalemme liberate (1581). Rossini’s treatment of the material contrasts with his other operas and demonstrates his range and capabilities especially in the first and third acts where the world created is darker, more sensual, and magical.
