The Metropolitan Opera’s 2023-24 season of Saturday matinee broadcasts continues with this year’s Listeners’ Choice, a historic broadcast chosen by the Met’s international radio audience: Verdi’s Ernani. This performance from 1962 features a breathtaking lineup of legendary stars. Carlo Bergonzi sings the title role of the mysterious outlaw; Leontyne Price is his beloved, the fiery noblewoman Elvira; Cornell MacNeil is Carlo, king of Spain; and Giorgio Tozzi is the vengeful Silva. Maestro Thomas Schippers conducted the Met Orchestra and Chorus in this thrilling score by the young Verdi. Ernani will be heard over the Robert K. Johnson Foundation-Metropolitan Opera International Radio Network at 1:00 p.m. ET on Saturday, March 2.
