The 2016-17 big screen season of the Metropolitan Opera will begin with a broadcast of Wagner’s “Tristan und Isolde” at 9 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 8 at Bainbridge Cinemas.

Conducted by Sir Simon Rattle, in his first Live in HD performance, this new production of the timeless classic stars Nina Stemme as Isolde — a touchstone role she has sung with major opera companies around the world.

Her Tristan is Australian heldentenor Stuart Skelton.

The cast also includes Ekaterina Gubanova as Brangäne and Evgeny Nikitin as Kurwenal (both in Met role debuts), with René Pape reprising King Marke, a role he has sung to acclaim in three previous Met seasons.

The staging, by Mariusz Treliński (who directed the 2015 Met double bill of “Iolanta” and “Bluebeard’s Castle”) is a co-production with the Festival Hall Baden-Baden, Teatr Wielki-Polish National Opera and China National Centre for the Performing Arts, Beijing.

Tickets, $23 for adults and $21 for seniors and children, are available now. Visit www.farawayentertainment.com to learn more.
