Tenor Benjamin Bernheim, one of Europe’s most sought-after tenors, makes his highly anticipated company debut when Verdi’s Rigoletto returns to the Met for 14 performances beginning November 10.
Maestro Speranza Scappucci also makes her Met debut on the podium, leading the critically acclaimed production directed by Bartlett Sher, which had its premiere last season. Bernheim, who shares the role of the Duke of Mantua with tenor Stephen Costello, has previously performed the part at the Bavarian State Opera, Barcelona’s Gran Teatre del Liceu, and most recently, the Vienna State Opera.
