The Metropolitan Opera’s 2024–25 Live in HD season comes to a close with a live transmission
of Rossini’s effervescent comedy. Russian mezzo-soprano Aigul Akhmetshina
headlines a winning ensemble as the feisty heroine, Rosina, alongside American tenor Jack
Swanson, in his Met debut, as her secret beloved, Count Almaviva. Moldovan baritone Andrey
Zhilikhovsky stars as Figaro, the ingenious barber of Seville, with Hungarian bass-baritone Peter
Kálmán as Dr. Bartolo and Russian bass Alexander Vinogradov as Don Basilio rounding out the
principal cast. Giacomo Sagripanti conducts Bartlett Sher’s madcap production.
