Wagner’s soaring  masterpiece makes its triumphant return to the Met stage after 17 years.  In a sequel to his revelatory production of Parsifal, director  François Girard unveils an atmospheric staging that once again weds his  striking visual style and keen dramatic insight to Wagner’s  breathtaking music, with Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin on the  podium to conduct a supreme cast led by tenor Piotr Beczała in the title  role of the mysterious swan knight.

Soprano Tamara Wilson is the virtuous duchess Elsa, falsely accused  of murder, going head-to-head with soprano Christine Goerke as the  cunning sorceress Ortrud, who seeks to lay her low. Bass-baritone Evgeny  Nikitin is Ortrud’s power-hungry husband, Telramund, and bass Günther  Groissböck is King Heinrich.
