The Metropolitan Opera: La Sonnambula Encore

Fathom presents an encore presentation of Bellini's "La Sonnambula" in HD on the Big Screen! The encore presentation (captured live on Saturday, March 21) will be shown for one day only on Wednesday, April 1, 2009, at 7 p.m. in all time zones. Mary Zimmerman underlines "La Sonnambula's" dual elements of sleep and wakefulness in an intriguing staging set in the present. Bellini's hauntingly lyrical score soars as performed by Dessay and Juan Diego Flórez, back from their sensational run together in "La Fille du Régiment" in leading opera houses around the world. Evelino Pidò conducts.
