The Met’s 11th Summer HD Festival at Lincoln Center features 11 thrilling performances from the Met’s Live in HD series of cinema transmissions—plus a special pre-festival screening of Stanley Donen’s enchanting Funny Face, featuring songs by George and Ira Gershwin, a co-presentation with Film at Lincoln Center. The showings run from August 23 through September 2, with approximately 3,000 seats set up in front of the opera house each night, as well as additional standing room around Lincoln Center Plaza.

Poulenc’s harrowing modern masterpiece, Dialogues des Carmélites, features a compelling ensemble, headlined by Isabel Leonard as Blanche and Karita Mattila as Madame de Croissy. It will be shown on August 27.
