The Metropolitan Opera Live in HD and Fathom/National CineMedia present Metropolitan Opera Live in HD: The Enchanted Island. Devised and written by Jeremy Sams. Music by Handel, Vivaldi, Rameau and others.

Experience the sixth season of the Metropolitan Opera’s Peabody and Emmy Award-winning series The Met: Live in HD in movie theaters nationwide. The broadcast of The Enchanted Island will be presented live for only one day on Saturday, January 21, 2012 at 11:55 AM CT in select movie theaters.

In one extraordinary new work, lovers of Baroque opera have it all: the world’s best singers, glorious music of the Baroque masters, and a story drawn from Shakespeare. In The Enchanted Island, the lovers from Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream are shipwrecked on his other-worldly island of The Tempest. Inspired by the musical pastiches and masques of the 18th century, the work showcases arias and ensembles by Handel, Vivaldi, Rameau, and others, and a new libretto by Jeremy Sams. Eminent conductor William Christie leads an all-star cast headed by David Daniels, Joyce DiDonato, and Plácido Domingo. This world-premiere production is directed and designed by Phelim McDermott and Julian Crouch.

An encore presentation of this performance will be exhibited in select movie theatres on Wednesday, February 8, 2012 at 6:30 PM in all time zones.
