SYNOPSIS

For gorgeous melody, spellbinding coloratura, and virtuoso vocal fireworks, I Puritani has few equals. On January 10, the first new Met production of Bellini’s final masterpiece in nearly 50 years—a striking staging by Charles Edwards, who makes his company directorial debut after many successes as a set designer—arrives in cinemas worldwide. The Met has assembled a world-beating quartet of stars, conducted by Marco Armiliato, for the demanding principal roles. Soprano Lisette Oropesa and tenor Lawrence Brownlee are Elvira and Arturo, brought together by love and torn apart by the political rifts of the English Civil War, with baritone Ricardo José Rivera as Riccardo, betrothed to Elvira against her will, and bass-baritone Christian Van Horn as Elvira’s sympathetic uncle, Giorgio.

Saturday, Jan 10, 2026 – 12 p.m.

Sunday, Jan 18, 2026 – 12 p.m.

New for the 2025-26 season: Due to changes with how the Met’s live performances are broadcast, our encore screenings will now be held on the Sunday of the FOLLOWING WEEK instead of the same weekend.
