ROCKLAND — The Strand Theatre will present the 2021-22 season of The Met: Live in HD, the Metropolitan Opera’s award-winning series of live high-definition cinema simulcasts from New York City.
The season kicks off October 9 with Mussorgsky’s Boris Godunov, with bass René Pape portraying the tortured tsar caught between grasping ambition and crippling paranoia. Conductor Sebastian Weigle will lead Mussorgsky’s masterwork.
The Saturday matinee performances will be transmitted live from the Met stage at 12:55pm; encore presentations will be offered on Tuesdays. Due to scheduling conflicts, two of the operas will be presented as encores only.
