He will also introduce Ronan Donovan, whose work with wolves and grizzly bears in and around Yellowstone National Park highlights the need for wildlife habitats that extend beyond national parks and how this work gives inspiration for a continental wildlife corridor between the US and Canada.

\nFollowing triumphant Met turns in Roméo et Juliette and Lucia di Lammermoor, Nadine Sierra summits another peak of the soprano repertoire as Amina, who sleepwalks her way into audiences’ hearts in Bellini’s poignant tale of love lost and found. In his new production, Rolando Villazón retains the opera’s original setting in the Swiss Alps but uses its somnambulant plot to explore the emotional and psychological valleys of the mind.

March 16: The Malcontents: Othello, Macbeth

\nWilliam Shakespeare’s tragic plays represent some of the greatest productions of the human imagination, marked by profound insight into the experiences of people under tremendous stress. At the same time, the plays explore philosophies of ambition, hope, despair, meaning, and even existence itself. From King Lear to Lady Macbeth, from Hamlet to Coriolanus, from Antony and Cleopatra to Romeo and Juliette, the characters in these plays rank among the most memorable ever created. Along with providing portraits of the plays, their production and publication history, and their outstanding characters and dimensions, Florida Atlantic Professor Taylor Hagood will focus on the timeless relevance of these works and the ways they embody life experiences all people encounter.
