Kendrick Lamar makes his television acting debut on “Power.” And Bruce Willis gets roasted.

What’s on TV

GREAT PERFORMANCES AT THE MET 12 p.m. on PBS (check local listings). Mozart’s classic comedy “Così Fan Tutte” was originally set in 18th-century Naples, but this new production from the Metropolitan Opera moves the action to 1950s Coney Island. In the show, young lovers carouse, deceive each other and give into seduction amid sword swallowers, a strongman, a fire eater and a contortionist. Kelli O’Hara, who has effortlessly crossed the barrier between Broadway and opera throughout her career, plays the scheming maid Despina. In his review for The New York Times, Anthony Tommasini called it a “colorful, inventive, sometimes riotous, sometimes surreal new production,” and named it a Critic’s Pick.

POWER 8 p.m. on Starz. This soapy crime drama is beloved by the hip-hop community. In an interview this week, Wiz Khalifa said that “Power” would be the one show he would choose to watch if he were stranded on a deserted island. In this episode, Kendrick Lamar will make his acting debut opposite 50 Cent. Mr. Lamar may have limited experience in acting, but his expressiveness, ease on camera and commitment to character are more than apparent in his music videos like “God Is Gangsta” and “These Walls.”

NAKED AND AFRAID OF SHARKS 9 p.m. on Discovery. It was only a matter a time before Discovery rolled two of its biggest properties into one. Five former “Naked and Afraid” contestants will be placed, in the buff, on a Caribbean island devoid of food. To sustain themselves, they’ll have to wade into the water where bull sharks, tiger sharks and hammerhead sharks roam free.
