06.11.09

The incredible Metropolitan Opera high definition broadcasts will return to Potsdam for their first summer season as SUNY Potsdam’s Crane School of Music and The Roxy Theater present “Mondays at the Met.” “Mondays at the Met” features the most successful and popular operas from the Met’s past seasons in HD and surround sound. Many of these greatest hits will appear for the first time in the North Country. All operas begin at 7:15 p.m. at the Roxy Theater in downtown Potsdam. The productions are: · “The Barber of Seville” by Rossini, July 13; · “La fille du règiment” (Daughter of the Regiment) by Donizetti, July 20; · “The Audition,” a documentary of the 2007 Met Auditions, July 27; · “Magic Flute” by Mozart, a shortened version in English for children, August 3; · “Eugene Onegin” by Tchaikovsky, August 10; and · “La Bohème” by Puccini, August 17. English subtitles for each production allow everyone to enjoy the dynamic stories. Intermission features are abbreviated so the operas better fit busy summer schedules. Special summer ticket pricing is discounted: $12 for adults, $10 for seniors and $8 for students. Those who buy tickets for five operas at one time will get the sixth one free. Tickets are available by phone at (315) 267-2277; in person at the CPS Box Office, the Roxy Theater and Northern Music and Video in Potsdam; or online at www.cpspotsdam.org. These presentations are made possible through a partnership with The Metropolitan Opera, SUNY Potsdam’s Crane School of Music and the Roxy Theater.
