POTSDAM -- The spring season of “The Met: Live in HD” continues with Gaetano Donizeti’s “Roberto Devereux” on April 16 at 12:55 p.m., with an encore May 15 at 6:30 p.m.

The opera will be in high definition and digital surround sound at the Potsdam Roxy, 20 Main St.

Soprano Sondra Radvanovsky takes on the extraordinary challenge of singing all three of Donizetti’s Tudor queen operas in the course of a single season, a rare feat made famous by Beverly Sills—and not attempted on a New York stage since.

In this climactic opera of the trilogy, she plays Queen Elizabeth I, forced to sign the death warrant of the nobleman she loves, Robert Devereux.

Tenor Matthew Polenzani is Devereux, and mezzo-soprano Elīna Garanča and baritone Mariusz Kwiecien complete the principal quartet in the bel canto masterpiece, conducted by Donizetti specialist Maurizio Benini.

As with the earlier Anna Bolena and Maria Stuarda, the production is by Sir David McVicar, who with this staging completes an enormously ambitious directorial accomplishment.

Ticket prices $18 for adults, $15 for senior citizens, $12 for students and $9 for youth.

Tickets are available by calling the Community Performance Series Box Office at 267-2277, by visiting the Roxy Theater in downtown Potsdam or stopping by the CPS Box Office in the lobby of SUNY Potsdam’s Performing Arts Center. You can also reserve tickets online, at www.cpspotsdam.org/eventpgs/methd.html.
