Ernani

This week, Francesco Meli and Luc Robert share the role of the titular rebel in this lively revival of Verdi's early drama based on Victor Hugo's play. Each man battles it out with Plácido Domingo and Dmitry Belosselskiy for the affections of Elvira, sung by diva-in-waiting Angela Meade, who made her acclaimed Met debut in this role back in 2008.
