Met Opera Live: Hamlet at Ethels Cinema, Café & Bar - Akaroa

Met Opera Live: Hamlet

THU 27 OCT

Coming Soon to
Ethels Cinema, Café & Bar - Akaroa

214 mins | Rated TBC

Starring Allan Clayton, Rod Gilfry, Brenda Rae, Sarah Connolly, John Tomlinson


When Australian composer Brett Dean’s Hamlet had its world premiere at the Glyndebourne Festival in 2017, The Guardian declared, “New opera doesn’t often get to sound this good … Shakespeare offers a gauntlet to composers that shouldn’t always be picked up, but Dean’s Hamlet rises to the challenge.” Now, this riveting contemporary masterpiece arrives at the Met, with Neil Armfield, who directed the work’s premiere, bringing his acclaimed staging to New York. Many of the original cast members have followed, including tenor Allan Clayton in the title role. Nicholas Carter makes his Met debut conducting a remarkable ensemble, which also features soprano Brenda Rae as Ophelia, mezzo-soprano Sarah Connolly as Gertrude, baritone Rod Gilfry as Claudius, and legendary bass John Tomlinson as the ghost of Hamlet’s father.
