“The Met: Live in HD” continues its 20th-anniversary season with Verdi’s “Macbeth” on Saturday, October 17, at 1PM ET. Soprano Lise Davidsen stars as Lady Macbeth, alongside baritone Quinn Kelsey in the title role. Yannick Nézet-Séguin, the Met’s Jeanette Lerman-Neubauer Music Director, conducts, and Louisa Proske makes her company debut as director with the Met’s first new production of the opera in nearly 20 years.

In addition to Davidsen and Kelsey, the cast includes tenor Freddie De Tommaso as Macduff and bass-baritone Ryan Speedo Green as Banquo, both making their respective Met role debuts.

Proske is joined by a veteran creative team that includes set designer Jon Bausor, who most recently designed the Met’s production of Gabriela Lena Frank’s “El Último Sueño de Frida y Diego”; costume designer Montana Levi Blanco, who is concurrently designing costumes for the Met’s world premiere of Missy Mazzoli’s “Lincoln in the Bardo”; and lighting designer Adam Silverman. Choreographer Jorrell Lawyer-Jefferson and action director Ran Arthur Braun also make their Met debuts with “Macbeth”.

Fathom Entertainment will also present two encores of “Macbeth” in theatres on Wednesday, October 21, at 1:00PM and 6:30pm local time.

Tickets for Macbeth are available online and at participating theatre box offices (theatre locations are subject to change). For more information, visit Fathom Entertainment.

Gary Halvorson will direct the “Live in HD” presentation for cinemas, and countertenor Anthony Roth Costanzo will host the transmission, sharing exclusive behind-the-scenes content and interviews during intermission.
