Join us on Saturday, December 7, at 1:00 p.m. for the thrilling launch of the Metropolitan Opera’s 2024-25 Saturday matinee broadcasts with Richard Strauss’s epic “Die Frau ohne Schatten.” This enchanting fairy tale opera features a star-studded international cast, including South African soprano Elza van den Heever as the Empress, an ethereal figure who must acquire a human shadow to remain with her husband. Also starring are Lise Lindstrom, Nina Stemme, Michael Volle, Russell Thomas, and Suffolk native Ryan Speedo Green as the Spirit Messenger.

Under the baton of Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin, the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra will bring Strauss’s dazzling score to life in this dramatic, magical production.
