Stravinsky - The Rake's Progress
From the Metropolitan Opera in New York. Stravinsky's masterpiece, starring Ben Bliss, Golda Schultz and Christian Van Horn. Susanna MΓ€lkki conducts.
Anne Trulove is to marry Tom Rakewell, but their plans are thwarted by the mysterious stranger Nick Shadow, who takes Tom under his diabolical wing. Featuring magical bread machines, and a bearded lady, things don't go to plan for Anne. Ben Bliss sings Tom, with Golda Schultz as his virtuous Anne, while Susanna MΓ€lkki conducts Stravinsky's neoclassical tale of love, self-delusion and madness.
