La Sonnambula Tickets

Nadine Sierra headlines Bellini’s La Sonnambula at the Met, directed by Rolando Villazón in a limited‑run production set in the dreamy Swiss Alps, where love, innocence, and emotional revelation unfold through sublime arias and intimate drama.

Nadine Sierra headlines as Amina in a limited-run Met production, earning praise for her immaculate coloratura and breathtaking high notes.

Under Rolando Villazón’s direction and Riccardo Frizza’s conducting, Sierra and Xabier Anduaga bring fresh psychological depth to the Alpine-set romance.

The Met’s production emphasizes emotional resonance over spectacle, exploring character rather than intrigue in its poignant portrayal.

Tenor Xabier Anduaga’s confident Elvino complements Sierra, and critics call their onstage chemistry “unbeatable” in bringing bel canto sensitivity to life.

The Met revival, augmented by another Live in HD broadcast, blends Johannes Leiacker’s alpine set, Brigitte Reiffenstuel’s costumes, and lush orchestration into a visually immersive experience.

The story

Set in a dreamy Swiss Alps village, La Sonnambula follows the young Amina, a gentle orphan who sleepwalks into scandal when her fiancé Elvino misreads her night‑time wanderings. Love, jealousy, and that haunting sleepwalking aria Ah! non credea mirarti fuel the drama. As village gossip swirls, Amina’s innocence and Elvino’s trust are tested—can love sleepwalk through doubt? Discover the truth…

These tickets can't be cancelled or rescheduled.
