Summary
A gem of the verismo repertoire, Cilea's Adriana Lecouvreur has only appeared a handful of times on the Met stage. When it has, however, it has often showcased some of opera's greatest divas in the commanding title role, including Renata Tebaldi, Montserrat Caballé, and Renata Scotto. During the 2018-19 season, superstar soprano Anna Netrebko joined the ranks of these incomparable artists, starring opposite mezzo-soprano Anita Rachvelishvili, as the fearsome Princess of Bouillon, and tenor Piotr Beczała, as her ardent lover, Maurizio. In this performance, recorded as part of the Met's Live in HD series, Gianandrea Noseda conducts Sir David McVicar's new staging, which teems with lurid backstage intrigue and political maneuvering.

E che cercate voi?
Eccoci soli, alfin!
Adriana! ... Maurizio! ... La dolcissima effigie sorridente
E il vostro avanzamento?
Or dunque, Abate? ... Un gaio festino

Acerba voluttà, dolce tortura
Principessa ... Finalmente!
L'anima ho stanca
Vi cogliam, Conte, sul fatto
Ma, dunque, è vero? ... No! No! Che giova?
Signor Abate, cortese siate
E bene?
Che granchio!
Sia! Non risponde
Sì, con l'ansia, con l'impeto ardente di chi sente

So ch'ella dorme
Amico mio! ... Figliuola!
Lieta sorpresa!
Una volta c'era un principe

Che? Tu tremi! ... Ove, dunque, so io?
Scostatevi, profani!
