Gioacchino Rossini's La Donna del Lago, performed as part of the Metropolitan Opera's 2014-2015 season captured live in HD on the New York stage. Conducted by Michele Mariotti.
"Joyce DiDonato and Juan Diego Flórez join forces for this Rossini showcase of bel canto virtuosity, set in the medieval Scottish highlands. DiDonato is the “lady of the lake” of the title, and Flórez is the king who relentlessly pursues her, with their vocal fireworks embellishing the tragic plot. This Met premiere production is directed by Paul Curran. This is a co-production of the Metropolitan Opera and the Santa Fe Opera." (MetOpera)
