- Oct 251:00 PMThe Met Opera Live in HD: "La Sonnambula" (Bellini)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.

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.
