The Met: Live in HD 10th Anniversary - Otello

Celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Metropolitan Opera’s Peabody and Emmy Award-winning series The Met: Live in HD. In Birmingham, the event will be shown at the Carmike Vestavia Hills 10, Carmike Patton Creek 15 and Regal Trussville Stadium 16.

The broadcast of Verdi’s Otello will be presented live on Saturday, October 17 at 12:55 p.m. ET / 9:55 a.m. PT, followed by an Encore presentation in select cinemas on Wednesday, October 21 at 6:30 p.m. in all time zones.

Verdi’s masterful Otello matches Shakespeare’s play in tragic intensity. Director Bartlett Sher probes the Moor’s dramatic downfall with an outstanding cast: tenor Aleksandrs Antonenko plays the doomed Otello; new soprano star Sonya Yoncheva sings Desdemona, Otello’s innocent wife and victim; and baritone Željko Lu?i? plays the evil Iago, who masterminds Otello’s demise. Dynamic maestro Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts.
