The Met Opera Live in HD 195 minutes (one intermission) Encore Following triumphant Live in HD performances in Gounod's Roméo et Juliette, Verdi's La Traviata, and Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor, Nadine Sierra summits another peak of the soprano repertoire as Amina, who sleepwalks her way into audiences' hearts in Bellini's poignant tale of love lost and found. In his new production, Rolando Villazón—the tenor who has embarked on a brilliant second career as a director—retains the opera's original setting in the Swiss Alps but uses its somnambulant plot to explore the emotional and psychological valleys of the mind. Tenor Xabier Anduaga co-stars as Amina's fiancé, Elvino, alongside soprano Sydney Mancasola as her rival, Lisa, and bass Alexander Vinogradov as Count Rodolfo. Riccardo Frizza takes the podium for one of opera's most ravishing works. GET TICKETS *Sponsored by the Jill A. Fischer Endowment for Excellence in Live Opera Broadcasts.

Professor Pfinklepfunder's $1 Sunday Films Directed by Nicolas Roeg With Anjelica Huston, Mai Zetterling, Jasen FisherRated PG, 91 minutes A Roald Dahl adaptation from Nicolas Roeg is a bit of a fascinating combination given Roeg's past films (e.g., directing the David Bowie vehicle The Man Who Fell to Earth or Mick Jagger in Performance or that kid in Don't Look Now). While staying at a hotel in England with his grandmother, Helga (Mai Zetterling), young Luke (Jasen Fisher) kills time by snooping here and there. As luck would have it, Luke inadvertently stumbles upon a convention of witches. The Grand High Witch (Oscar-winner Anjelica Huston) reveals a plan to turn all children into mice through a magical formula. As bad luck would have it, the witches realize that Luke has overheard their ruinous plot and test the formula on him. Now, with the help of Helga and the hotel manager, Mr. Stringer (Rowan Atkinson), Luke the mouse must fight back against the witches and save kids worldwide from a murine fate.
