Thomas Ades’ TEMPEST ENCORE

Approx. Runtime: 3:30

Composer Thomas Adès conducts the Metropolitan Opera premiere of his 2004 work, which has been widely praised as a modern masterpiece. Director Robert Lepage recreates the interior of 18th-century La Scala, including the hidden workings underneath the stage, where Prospero, the banished Duke of Milan, practices his otherworldly arts. The magnetic baritone Simon Keenlyside stars as Prospero, a role he has sung to great acclaim in London.

Production a gift of Mrs. Bert S. Turner and Robert L. Turner 
A co-production of the Metropolitan Opera and L’Opéra de Québec 
In collaboration with Ex Machina
