The star of South Pacific and The King and I returns to the Met stage.

Tony Award winner Kelli O’Hara returns to the Metropolitan Opera in a 2018 production of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart‘s comic opera Così fan tutte.

The actor, who appeared at the neighboring Vivian Beaumont Theatre in South Pacific, The Light in the Piazza, and The King and I (Tony Award), will move a hundred yards downtown to the legendary Met opera stage, playing the saucy, plotting maid, Despina.

The production is scheduled to open March 15, 2018, and run through April 19.

Christopher Maltman plays Don Alfonso, and the young lovers are played by Amanda Majeski, Serena Malfi, Ben Bliss, and Adam Plachetka. David Robertson conducts.
