Having triumphed at the Met in some of the repertory’s fiercest soprano roles Sondra Radvanovsky opens the new season as the mythic sorceress who will stop at nothing in her quest for vengeance—a tour-de-force role made famous by opera’s ultimate diva, Maria Callas. The Met premiere of Cherubini’s rarely performed masterpiece marks Radvanovsky’s fourth new production with director David McVicar, who also designed the sets for this vivid, atmospheric staging, simultaneously classical, updated, and timeless. Joining Radvanovsky are tenor Matthew Polenzani as Medea’s Argonaut husband, Giasone; soprano Janai Brugger as her rival for his love, Glauce; bass Michele Pertusi as her father, Creonte, the King of Corinth; and mezzo-soprano Ekaterina Gubanova as Medea’s confidante, Neris. In an impressive fall trifecta at the Met, Maestro Carlo Rizzi conducts Medea, in addition to Don Carlo and Tosca.

Featuring one of the repertoire’s most ruthless and electrifying heroines, Medea was famously a star vehicle for opera’s ultimate diva, Maria Callas, in the 1950s. Seven decades later, one of today’s reigning sopranos picked up Callas’s torch when Sondra Radvanovsky opened the Met’s 2022–23 season as Cherubini’s mythic sorceress. In this performance, recorded as part of the company’s Live in HD series of cinema transmissions, Radvanovsky gives a tour-de-force performance, headlining an exhilarating new staging by director David McVicar—his 12th production for the Met. Maestro Carlo Rizzi is on the podium to conduct this rarely performed drama, which also features tenor Matthew Polenzani as Medea’s unfaithful lover, Giasone; soprano Janai Brugger as the new object of his affections, Glauce; mezzo-soprano Ekaterina Gubanova as Medea’s steadfast companion, Neris; and bass Michele Pertusi as the Corinthian king Creonte.
