Met around the country

Directed by Piero Faggioni, the Riccardo Zandonai opera Francesca da Rimini was inspired by a scene from Dante's Inferno. Francesca da Rimini was last seen at the Metropolitan Opera in 1986, but has a five-show run this March. If you can't make it to Manhattan to catch the performances, you can do it at one of 26 cinemas across the country Saturday, March 16, at 4:45 p.m., including three in Prague; find the one closest to you at Metinhd.cz.
