Following her radiant performance in Gounod’s Roméo et Juliette—which garnered raves for “high notes
that spun like liquid gold … Sierra touched the operatic firmament” (The New York Times)—superstar
soprano Nadine Sierra takes on another alluring French heroine, the irresistible title character of
Massenet’s passionate drama, live from the Met stage to cinemas worldwide. Leading tenor Matthew
Polenzani is her idealistic lover, the Chevalier des Grieux, with rising-star baritone Andrzej Filonczyk as
her stalwart cousin, Lescaut, in a breathtaking staging by director Laurent Pelly.
