Metropolitan Opera - Hamlet
New opera doesn't often get to sound this good...Shakespeare offers a gauntlet to composers that shouldn't always be picked up, but Dean's Hamlet rises to the challenge.

Luckily for Met Opera goers much of the original cast, as well as the Opera's director (Neil Armfield), have re-joined the production as it makes its New York debut. Including, tenor Allan Clayton in the titular role. Soprano Brenda Rae will star as Orphelia, Dame Sarah Connolly as Gertrude, and the legendary Sir John Tomlinson as the ghost of Hamlet's father.
