Compelling soprano Rachel Willis-Sørensen stars as Arabella, a young noblewoman in search of love on her own terms. Soprano Louise Alder is her sister, Zdenka, and bass-baritone Tomasz Konieczny is the dashing count who sweeps Arabella off her feet. This live cinema transmission is part of the Met’s award-winning Live in HD series, bringing opera to movie theaters across the globe.
