Why travel all the way to New York to see a world-class opera, when they can be beamed live to your home city for a fraction of the price?

The second in a trio of live productions performed at New York's Metropolitan Opera is being beamed into the Duke Of York's tomorrow following on from last month's screening of Eugene Onegin.

Rossini's epic contains probably opera's most famous and oft-repeated line - "Figaro, Figaro, Figaro" - as the happy-go-lucky snipper helps his old master Count Almaviva woo the beautiful Rosina.

The production features Peruvian tenor Juan Diego Florez as the Count, with mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato as Rosina and baritone Peter Mattei in the title role.
