The Met: Live in HD: “Fedora”

Fedora, by Umberto Giordano, returns to the Met for the first time in 25 years. Fedora Romanzov, a Russian princess, tracks down Count Loris, the murderer of her fiancé. However, in true opera form, she falls in love with him, only to ultimately end her life after she mistakenly betrays him and he denounces her. The Italian hyper-romantic Fedora has been called “a sort of hot fudge sundae, nutritiously negligible yet positively irresistible.”
