The Metropolitan Opera’s 2023-24 season of Saturday matinee broadcasts continues with "Un Ballo in Maschera" – A Masked Ball, by Giuseppe Verdi, a highlight from the Met’s fall lineup.
It stars tenor Charles Castronovo as King Gustav of Sweden, whose life is threatened by both political turmoil and a secret, illicit love.
Soprano Angela Meade is the king’s beloved Amelia, and baritone Quinn Kelsey is his best friend – Amelia’s husband.
The cast also features Liv Redpath and Olesya Petrova, with Carlo Rizzi conducting the Met Orchestra and Chorus in Verdi’s dynamic score.
"Un Ballo in Maschera" will be heard over the Robert K. Johnson Foundation-Metropolitan Opera International Radio Network at 1:00 p.m. ET on Saturday, February 17.
