“The Tempest,” The Met: Live in HD’s acclaimed production of Shakespeare’s magical fable, comes to Orcas Center’s big screen on Sunday, Nov. 18 at 1 p.m.

Composer Thomas Adès conducts the Metropolitan Opera premiere of his own work, with baritone Simon Keenlyside starring as Prospero.

Director Robert Lepage recreates the interior of 18th-century La Scala, including the hidden workings underneath the stage, where Prospero, the banished Duke of Milan, practices his otherworldly arts.

The New York Times wrote, “The music immediately plunges listeners into a world of explosive energy and luminous color so that they are cast adrift on the seascape that Prospero has unleashed.”

Tickets for “The Tempest”  are $18 for adults, $13 for students ($2 off for Orcas Center Members) and may be purchased at www.orcascenter.org or by calling 376-2281 ext. 1 or visiting the Orcas Center Box Office.
