MET Opera - I Puritani (Bellini)
On Saturday, January 10 at 1 p.m., the MET Opera presented Bellini's last masterpiece, I Puritani, at the Ramsdell Regional Center for the Arts in Manistee. Directed by Charles Edwards in his company debut, this stunning production featured a star-studded cast in a dramatic love story set during the English Civil War.
I Puritani is a jewel of opera with gorgeous melodies, dazzling coloraturas, and virtuosic arias. Nearly 50 years after its last Met staging, this Bellini masterpiece returned under the direction of Charles Edwards, making his directorial debut after a career in set design. Conducted by Marco Armiliato, the principal roles were brought to life by Lisette Oropesa (Elvira), Lawrence Brownlee (Arturo), Artur Ruciński (Riccardo), and Christian Van Horn (Giorgio). The opera tells the passionate story of Elvira and Arturo, lovers torn apart by the English Civil War, and Elvira’s forced engagement to Riccardo. The event took place at the Ramsdell Regional Center for the Arts in Manistee.
