San Juan Community Theatre’s The Met: Live in HD program continues Sunday, March 16 at 2 p.m. with a screening of Borodin’s defining Russian epic, Prince Igor.
Famous for its Polovtsian Dances, the opera comes to the Met for the first time in nearly 100 years.
Dmitri Tcherniakov’s new production is a brilliant psychological journey through the mind of its conflicted hero, with the founding of the Russian nation as the backdrop. Star bass-baritone Ildar Abdrazakov takes on the monumental title role, with Gianandrea Noseda conducting.
In addition to The Met: Live in HD presentations, SJCT also rebroadcasts National Theatre Live productions from Great Britain. A complete schedule of the HD-live events is available at www.sjctheatre.org. SJCT’s new partnership with both programs and the HD equipment to present them, was made possible through a generous bequest from the late Dodie Gann.
Tickets for Prince Igor are $20 for adults, $18 for SJCT members and $10 for student reserved. Tickets are available on-line at www.sjctheatre.org or at the SJCT Box Office: 378-3210.
