Mattila Bows Out From Met Production: nyti.ms/J1j2ek
— John Pierce (@jrpierce) May 18, 2012
“A revival of Tchaikovsky’s The Queen of Spades will open at the Met on March 11, with a cast led by Karita Mattila as Lisa, a role she sang in the production’s 1995 premiere. Mattila’s three co-stars are singing their roles for the first time at the Met: Vladimir Galouzine, one of the world’s leading interpreters of Hermann; Swedish baritone Peter Mattei as his romantic rival Yeletsky; and dramatic mezzo-soprano Dolora Zajick as the Countess. The energetic Latvian conductor Andris Nelsons leads the opera for the first time at the Met, in a revival of Elijah Moshinsky’s 1995 staging. The opera, which is based on a Pushkin story, will also feature Tamara Mumford as Pauline and Alexey Markov as Tomsky.”–broadwayworld.com
