Come and join us on February 3, 2024 to the MET in HD rebroadcast of  FLORENCIA-en-el-AMAZONAS.

The opera tells an enchanting story of a Brazilian opera diva who returns to her homeland to perform at the legendary Manaus Opera House and to search for her lost butterfly-hunter lover, who has vanished into the jungle. Manaus is the last big city on banks of Rio Negro, a tributary of Amazon River in northwestern Brazil. It’s a major departure point for the surrounding Amazon Rainforest.

The Met premiere stars soprano Ailyn Pérez as Florencia Grimaldi, with Yannick Nézet-Séguin on the podium to lead a spellbinding new production by Mary Zimmerman that brings the mysterious and magical realm of the Amazon to the Met stage.

Composed in 1996 by Mexican composer Daniel Catán. It’s only the third opera sung in Spanish at the MET.

The opera is sung in Spanish with English surtitles. The performance lasts 2 hours and 15 minutes that includes one 30 minutes intermission.
