The Met: Live in HD – Tristan und Isolde
Regal Old Mill | 9:00 a.m.
The Metropolitan Opera's production of Tristan und Isolde comes to Bend on the big screen. Directed by Yuval Sharon, described by The New York Times as "the most visionary opera director of his generation," and starring soprano Lise Davidsen and tenor Michael Spyres, this Irish tale of a love potion and forbidden passion is one of the most powerful works in the operatic repertoire. Even if you're new to opera, this is an immersive cultural experience.
Bend's cultural calendar often reflects what many of us value about living here: access to the outdoors paired with meaningful arts and community experiences. If you enjoy having this kind of programming within easy reach of home, that accessibility is part of what makes the West Side particularly compelling.
