15:00. Musical. 210 min. Conductor: Karen Kamensek. In English with Russian subtitles. Director Phelim McDermott tackles another one of Philip Glass’s masterpieces, following the now-legendary Met staging of Satyagraha. Star countertenor Anthony Roth Costanzo is the title pharaoh, the revolutionary ruler who transformed ancient Egypt, with the striking mezzo-soprano J’Nai Bridges in her Met debut as his wife, Nefertiti. To match the opera’s hypnotic, ritualistic music, McDermott has created an arresting vision that includes a virtuosic company of acrobats and jugglers. Karen Kamensek conducts in her Met debut.

15:00. Ballet to the music by Adolphe Adam. 200 min (with two intermissions). Libretto by Jules Henri Vernoy de Saint-Georges and Joseph Mazilier edited by Marius Petipa. In English and French with Russian subtitles. This ballet, inspired by Byron’s poem, tells the story of the love between a pirate and a beautiful slave-girl. The action takes place against the backdrop of the open sea, in remote grottoes, amid the hustle and bustle of an eastern bazaar, and the languid luxury of a sultan’s harem. The duels and kidnappings are thrilling, but it is Marius Petipa’s timeless choreography that really delights. This romantic, oriental masterpiece, first performed in Russia in 1858, has been returned to the repertoire by the Mikhailovsky Theatre’s Ballet Master in Chief, Mikhail Messerer.
