The Metropolitan Opera celebrates Giacomo Puccini in the latest themed week of its Nightly Met Streams series. Catch seven classic titles by the composer September 21–27.
The lineup begins Monday night with a 2009 performance of La Rondine starring Angela Gheorghiu, Lisette Oropesa, and Roberto Alagna. Later on in the weekend are selections with some of the composer's (and opera's) most recognizable melodies: Turandot (September 26) and La Bohème (September 27).
