Summary:
Rossini's rarely heard comedy receives a brilliant performance in Bartlett Sher's Met premiere production, with a trio of today's greatest bel canto stars in the leading roles: Juan Diego Flórez is Count Ory, a handsome rogue who finds women--all women--irresistible. Diana Damrau sings the virtuous Countess Adèle, and Joyce DiDonato is Isolier, the count's page, who is also in love with the countess. Jokes, misunderstandings, and gender-bending disguises--including knights dressed as nuns-- abound in this hilarious tale of deception and seduction. Maurizio Benini conducts.

Introduction by Renée Fleming
Introduzione: Jouvencelles, venez vite
Quand Madame la Comtesse
Que les destins prospères
Je viens à vous
Moi je réclame
De grće encore un mot
Je ne puis plus longtemps
Veiller sans cesse
Vous, notre appui
Cet ermite, ma belle enfant ; Salut ô vénérable ermite
Une dame de haut parage
Marche: Isolier dans ces lieux
En proie à la tristesse
Vous avez entendu sa touchante prière
C'est bien je suis content
Ciel! Ô terreur, ô peine extrême
Cet écrit, noble cht́elaine
Venez amis, retirons-nous
Backstage at the Met with host Renée Fleming: Interview with Juan Diego Florez
Introduction to Act II by Renée Fleming
Dans ce sejour calme et tranquille
Noble Cht́elaine
Quand tomberont sur lui
Ah quel respect, Madame
Ce téméraire
Voici vos compagnes fidèles
Ah la bonne folie
L'aventure est jolie
Eh mais quelle triste observance
Dans ce lieu solitaire
Du fruit de sa victoire
Buvons, buvons soudain
Elle revient
silence!
A la faveur de cette nuit obscure
J'entends d'ici le bruit des armes
Ecoutez ces chants de victoire
