WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Metropolitan Opera's broadcast production of "La Traviata" airs at the Clark Art Institute on Saturday, Nov. 5, at 12:55 pm in the second installment of The Met: Live in HD. 
 
The award-winning series of live, high-definition cinema simulcasts features the full live performance along with backstage interviews and commentary. The Clark will broadcast the opera in its auditorium, located in the Manton Research Center.
 
According to a press release, Soprano Nadine Sierra stars as the self-sacrificing courtesan Violetta—one of opera's ultimate heroines—in Michael Mayer's vibrant production of Verdi's beloved tragedy. Tenor Stephen Costello is her self-centered lover, Alfredo, alongside baritone Luca Salsi as his disapproving father. Daniele Callegari conducts the performance.
 
In conjunction with the broadcast, the Clark's Manton Study Center for Works on Paper hosts a special pop-up exhibition. The exhibition includes a sampling of prints, drawings, and photographs of nineteenth-century Paris, the setting of the play by Alexandre Dumas. 
 
The pop-up exhibition is free with gallery admission or The Met: Live in HD ticket purchase; it will be on view from 11 am to 1 pm on Nov. 5.
 
Tickets are $25 ($22 for members, $18 for students with valid ID, and $7 for children 10 and under). To purchase tickets, visit clarkart.edu/events or call the box office at 413 458 0524. Advance reservations are strongly suggested. No refunds.
 
The next Met: Live in HD performance is The Hours, airing Saturday, Dec. 10, at 12:55 pm.
