Peter McClintock directs this revival of Robert Carsen's 1997 production. There are seven performances from tonight through March 3 at the Metropolitan Opera House — and, not surprisingly, the run is completely sold out.
Luckily, those of us who didn't manage to get a ticket can still enjoy the matinee on Saturday, February 24 — either via the Toll Brothers Metropolitan Opera radio broadcast (check your local listings) or in a high-definition video simulcast at selected movie theaters.
And if you just can't wait two weeks, tonight's performance will be streamed live (audio only) on the Metropolitan Opera's website. Just go to www.metopera.org and look for the RealPlayer box toward the lower left of the screen.
