Overview
Just as a young woman is about to marry her sweetheart, she is discovered鈥攂y the entire village, to say nothing of her fianc茅鈥攁sleep in the bedroom of a stranger. It takes the young man two acts to figure out that sleepwalking is to blame, and everything ends happily. Natalie Dessay as Amina and Juan Diego Fl贸rez as Elvino deliver bel canto magic and vocal fireworks in Mary Zimmerman鈥檚 2009 production. The Tony award-winning director transfers Bellini鈥檚 bucolic tale to a rehearsal room in contemporary New York, where an opera company rehearses La Sonnambula鈥攁nd where the singers are truly in love with each other.
