The broadcast is set to be shown in theaters on Oct. 18 and will showcase Roland Villazón’s new production.

Headlining the production will be soprano Nadine Sierra and tenor Xabier Anduaga. Conductor Riccardo Frizza will lead the cast, which will also include soprano Sydney Mancasola as Lisa and bass Alexander Vinogradov as Count Rodolfo.

The creative team includes set designer Johannes Leiacker, costume designer Brigitte Reiffenstuel, lighting designer Donald Holder, projection designer Renaud Rubiano in his Met debut, and choreographer Leah Hausman.

The Oct. 18 performance of “La Sonnambula” will mark the opera’s 84th ever appearance at the Met and its second Live in HD transmission to cinemas worldwide.

Gary Halvorson will direct the Live in HD presentation for cinemas, and Grammy Award– and Pulitzer Prize–winning musician and composer Rhiannon Giddens will host the transmission, sharing exclusive behind-the-scenes content and interviews during intermission.
