The Metropolitan Opera’s 2024–25 Live in HD season concludes with a live transmission of Rossini’s effervescent comedy on June 10th. Russian mezzo-soprano Aigul Akhmetshina stars as the feisty heroine, Rosina, alongside American tenor Jack Swanson, making his Met debut as her secret beloved, Count Almaviva. Moldovan baritone Andrey Zhilikhovsky shines as Figaro, the ingenious barber of Seville, with Hungarian bass-baritone Peter Kálmán as Dr. Bartolo and Russian bass Alexander Vinogradov as Don Basilio completing the principal cast. Giacomo Sagripanti conducts Bartlett Sher’s madcap production.
