DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Event Name: Rockport Music presents The Enchanted Island (MET Opera HD Live)=0D=0AEvent Url: http://www.artsboston.org/event/detail/441480195=0D=0AEvent Date Begin: 2012-01-21=0D=0AEvent Date End: 2012-01-21=0D=0A=0D=0AIn one extraordinary new work, lovers of Baroque opera have it all: the world's best singers, glorious music of the Baroque masters, and a story drawn from Shakespeare. In The Enchanted Island, the lovers from Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream are shipwrecked on his other-worldly island of The Tempest. Inspired by the musical pastiches and masques of the 18th century, the work showcases arias and ensembles by Handel, Vivaldi, Rameau, and others, and a new libretto by Jeremy Sams. Eminent conductor William Christie leads an all-star cast with David Daniels (Prospero) and Joyce DiDonato (Sycorax) as the formidable foes, Plácido Domingo as Neptune, Danielle de Niese as Ariel, and Luca Pisaroni as Caliban. Lisette Oropesa and Anthony Roth Costanzo play Miranda and Ferdinand. This dazzling production is directed and designed by Phelim McDermott and Julian Crouch (Satyagraha and the Met's 125 anniversary gala).=0D=0A==0D=0A=There will also be a pre-opera lunch at 12:00 PM (tickets purchased separately).=0D=0A=0D=0AStart time:1 PM
