The next opera in the Metropolitan Opera’s Live in HD program, Giuseppe Verdi’s Luisa Miller, will be streamed on Saturday, April 14, at Grinnell College. The opera will begin at 11:30 a.m. in the Harris Center Cinema, 1114 10th Ave., Grinnell.

Don Smith, professor emeritus of history, will give the opera talk at 11 a.m. in the Harris Center Cinema. Smith’s scholarly and teaching interests focus upon 19th century British political history.

In this opera, tragedy follows the title character, Luisa Miller, as she falls in love with someone distrusted by her father. This will be the Met’s first performance of Luisa Miller in more than 10 years.

Bertrand de Billy conducts. Sonya Yoncheva stars in the title role of Luisa, alongside her father, Miller, played by Plácido Domingo.

After Luisa Miller, there will be one more Met opera streamed at Grinnell College during the spring semester. The streaming of Massenet’s Cendrillon will begin at noon on Saturday, April 28.

Refreshments will be available for sale in the lobby of the cinema before each opera and during intermission.

Tickets are available at the Pioneer Bookshop and at the door on the day of the show. Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for students, children and Met Opera members.

The Office of the President has generously funded tickets for Grinnell College faculty, staff, and students, and tickets are available for free at all locations. Family members not employed by the College are required to purchase tickets.

Grinnell College welcomes the participation of people with disabilities. Accommodation requests may be made to Conference Operations.
The College welcomes the presence of minors at all age-appropriate public events and for informal visits, with the understanding that a parent, legal guardian, or other responsible adult assumes full responsibility for their child’s safety and behavior during such visits or events. In these cases the College expects that an adult responsible for the visiting child takes measures to ensure the child’s safety and sees that the child complies with directions of College personnel. Grinnell College is not responsible for supervision of minors on campus.
