The fifth season of The Met: Live in HD at the Marion Ross Performing Arts Center in downtown Albert Lea will begin at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 8 with a new production of Wagner’s opera “Tristan und Isolde.”

Since 2012, Albert Lea Civic Music and Albert Lea Community Theatre (ACT) have partnered to bring the Metropolitan Opera’s stunning series of award-winning, live, high-definition transmissions to Albert Lea. Each broadcast from New York City is produced with at least 10 cameras, meaning there are multiple points of view.

Onscreen English subtitles are available for all transmissions.
