In Cherubini’s rarely performed drama, Sondra Radvanovsky portrays Medea, a mythic sorceress who will stop at nothing in her quest for vengeance. She sings the title character for the first time, taking on the tour-de-force role made famous by Maria Callas. Joining Radvanovsky is Matthew Polenzani as Medea’s husband, Giasone; Janai Brugger as the rival for his love, Glauce; Michele Pertusi as Glauce’s father, Creonte, the King of Corinth; and Ekaterina Gubanova as Neris, Medea’s confidante.
