Giuseppe Verdi’s Macbeth is no love story. Seduced by ambition and propelled by his ambitious wife, a power-hungry couple claw their way to the throne—only to find their aspirations twisted into madness. Based on Shakespeare’s iconic tragedy, this opera is a blazing struggle with fate’s cruel grip — and how those in its path pay the price. A powerful and emotional work, Macbeth is the opera Verdi himself declared to be “unlike any other”, abandoning operatic conventions to create a ghastly drama. It is truly a tale of power, superstition, and ruthless desire - a psychological battleground set to some of Verdi’s most magnificent music. A must-see for any opera – or Shakespeare - lover!

Only the passion of the most beautiful woman in the world can bring a hero to his knees. Based on the infamous Bible tale, Samson is the only hope of the oppressed Hebrews and none of the plotting of the Philistines can seem to stop him. Enter Dalila, the calculating seductress who can capture a man’s heart with ease. Dalila’s temptation of Samson will continue until she has what she wants: the secret of his strength. Her underestimation of Samson’s faith, however, leads to the fatal climax of Camille Saint-Saëns’ gripping retelling of what happens when two forces of nature meet. Sacred, scandalous, and irresistibly alluring, this masterpiece of French grand opera is a feast for the eyes and ears.

NEW PRODUCTION!

Following his smash-hit company debut with The Hours, composer Kevin Puts returns to the Met with Silent Night, his Pulitzer Prize–winning opera that premiered in 2011. Based on the 2005 film Joyeux Noël and inspired by true events, this powerful opera transports us to the trenches of 1914, where Scottish, French, and German soldiers are caught in the brutality of WWI. But on one remarkable night, their weapons fall silent. Moved by the voice of a German opera singer conscripted into battle, they step out of their trenches to share songs, stories, and even a game of soccer. It’s a fleeting moment of peace—one that defies orders, risks everything, and reminds us of the profound power of music to unite us, even in our darkest hours.

Richard Wagner’s last opera, Parsifal is based on a 13th-century epic poem about an Arthurian knight on a quest for the Holy Grail. The Knights of the Holy Grail are in decline and their ruler, Amfortas, is ailing from an unhealable wound. While the knight Gurnemanz wistfully recalls the prophecy of a guileless youth who will restore the order, he refuses to believe that the naive, young man before him could be that savior. And so the pure and innocent youth, Parsifal, leaves on what will become an epic journey to discover the Grail and the fullness of life.
