This winter, Diana Damrau embodies Leila, one of her signature roles, in the first production of Bizet’s Les Pêcheurs de Perles at The Metropolitan Opera in 100 years. Enjoy this video of Diana singing „Oh Dieu Brahma“ from the Theater an der Wien’s recent production in 2014.
Ms. Damrau sings alongside a marvelous cast in this new offering at The Met, including Matthew Polenzani as Nadir, Mariusz Kwiecien as Zurga, and her husband bass-baritone Nicolas Testé as Nourabad, with Gianandrea Noseda leading the Met Opera Orchestra and Chorus. Performances take place on January 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 23, 27 & 30, as well as a special New Year’s Eve gala presentation on December 31.
