This powerful, evocative play deals with a subject that is ever-more relevant in our aging society: dementia. The play is written from the perspective of Andre (the father) and invites us to see the world through his eyes. Sometimes confusing, sometimes annoying but nearly always correct … in his view. So-called reality is altered depending on your viewpoint.

Written with a wonderful insight into the way in which dementia affects us all, this play is humorous, moving and ultimately thought-provoking.

David (Colin Farrell) heads to a wedding in his old car with a unique GPS. He meets Sarah (Margot Robbie), and together, they embark on a journey suggested by the GPS. Along the way, they confront their pasts and explore painted landscapes, leading to a deeper connection. As they contemplate their future, they face a crucial decision about their relationship.

Following triumphant Met turns in Roméo et Juliette, La Traviata, and Lucia di Lammermoor, Nadine Sierra summits another peak of the soprano repertoire as Amina, who sleepwalks her way into audiences’ hearts in Bellini’s poignant tale of love lost and found.

In his new production, Rolando Villazón—the tenor who has embarked on a brilliant second career as a director—retains the opera’s original setting in the Swiss Alps but uses its somnambulant plot to explore the emotional and psychological valleys of the mind.

Tenor Xabier Anduaga returns after his acclaimed 2023 Met debut in L’Elisir d’Amore, co-starring as Amina’s fiancé Elvino, alongside soprano Sydney Mancasola as her rival, Lisa, and bass Alexander Vinogradov as Count Rodolfo. Riccardo Frizza takes the podium for one of opera’s most ravishing works.
