This aria is a showcase for many bel canto sopranos, and it is extremely demanding in terms of technique. Come to Bethanie to see Semiramide on 8th September, 5:00pm. It is the ONE AND ONLY screening. This masterpiece of dazzling vocal fireworks makes a rare Met appearance—its first in nearly 25 years—with Maurizio Benini on the podium. The all-star bel canto cast features Angela Meade in the title role of the murderous Queen of Babylon, who squares off in breathtaking duets with Arsace, a trouser role sung by Elizabeth DeShong. Javier Camarena, Ildar Abdrazakov, and Ryan Speedo Green complete the stellar cast.
