Singing the role of Rocco in this revival of Jürgen Flimm's 2000 staging will be the German bass, René Pape, making his return to the Met after an absence of several years, with Briton David Butt Philip taking on the diabolical prison warden, Don Pizarro and Florestan, who is languishing in the depths of the dungeon, being played by Tomasz Konieczny, the Polish bass-baritone also well known from his appearances in the Budapest Wagner Days festival here.
The broadcast will be sung in the original language, and shown with Hungarian and English subtitles.
