St Petersburg, winter, 1881. When Princess Fedora Romazov's fianc茅 is shot and mortally wounded on the eve of their wedding, she points the finger at Count Loris Ipanoff. By the end of Act 2, placated by Ipanoff's revelation that his wife and Fedora's fianc茅 were having an affair and that Ipanoff killed him in self-defence, Fedora has fallen in love with him. But the path of true love does not run smooth: Fedora has dobbed in Ipanoff to his political enemies who go after his family and Iapnoff vows vengeance on the woman who set the wheels in motion. Despairing, Fedora admits that she is the culprit, drinks poison and dies in Ipanoff's arms.

A superb vehicle for a prima donna and a charismatic tenor - Caruso created the role of Ipanoff at Fedora's 1898 Milan premiere - Fedora gets both of those in spades in this Met production with Sonya Yoncheva in the title role and Piotr Becza艂a as Ipanoff.

Presented by Debra Lew Harder with commentator Ira Siff.
