The Bermuda Opera team is presenting the Met: Live in HD & Encore series in Bermuda on film on Sundays at BUEI at 5.00pm, with the next showing to take place on November 17.

A spokesperson said, “The Bermuda Opera Team is proud to present the Met: Live in HD [2023-24] & Encore series in Bermuda [on film]. Don’t miss your chance to see these world class productions on the big screen in high definition quality.

“All operas are on Sundays at 5.00pm at BUEI unless otherwise advised. All have English subtitles and are approximately 3-4 hours long [including a 30 minute interval].

“The next opera this season is Verdi’s Nabucco [in Italian with English subtitles] on Sunday, November 17 at 5.00 at BUEI.

“Ancient Babylon comes to life in a classic Met staging of biblical proportions. Baritone George Gagnidze makes Met role debut as imperious king Nabucco, alongside Ukrainian soprano Liudmyla Monastyrska as his vengeful daughter Abigaille. Mezzo-soprano Maria Barakova and tenor SeokJong Baek, in his company debut, are Fenena and Ismaele, and bass Dmitry Belosselskiy is high priest Zaccaria.
