Met Opera in HD: Arabella (Richard Strauss)

Legendary director Otto Schenk conjures the glamour and enchantment of 19th-century Vienna in this sumptuous production that "is as beautiful as one could hope" (The New York Times). Soprano Rachel Willis-Sørensen stars as the title heroine, a young noblewoman in search of love on her own terms. Radiant soprano Louise Alder is her sister, Zdenka, and bass-baritone Tomasz Konieczny is the dashing count who sweeps Arabella off her feet. Nicholas Carter conducts.
