News From The Met:

Now in its 20th year, “The Met: Live in HD” series brings the best of the Metropolitan Opera House to The Lensic screen in Santa Fe. The 2026 season’ performances will be broadcast live in high definition and with behind-the-scenes footage from the Met.

The season opens Saturday Oct. 3 with Così fan tutte, Mozart’s satirical comedy of fickle young love, one of the composer’s most sublime creations. Phelim McDermott’s “colorful, inventive” (The New York Times) staging, inspired by Coney Island in the 1950s, sets the uproarious story at a boardwalk amusement park, where the two pairs of lovers at the heart of the tale find themselves on one emotional—and literal—thrill ride after another.

Soprano Federica Lombardi and mezzo-soprano Samantha Hankey sing Fiordiligi and Dorabella, opposite tenor Duke Kim and baritone Andrey Zhilikhovsky as Ferrando and Guglielmo. Bass-baritone Gerald Finley reprises his portrayal of the cynical Don Alfonso, with soprano Ana María Martínez as the witty maid Despina.
