KHFM Presents the Met’s Saturday Matinee Broadcasts

The Metropolitan Opera 2025–26 Saturday Matinee Broadcast Season features a rich blend of beloved classics, exciting new productions, and remarkable historic performances.

This year’s lineup opens with Puccini’s La Bohème and continues with dramatic staples such as Andrea Chénier, Carmen, Arabella, and La Traviata. Holiday offerings include Mozart’s The Magic Flute in a special abridged English-language presentation and a festive celebration of Handel featuring excerpts from past Met performances.

The season also showcases significant premieres and contemporary works, including Mason Bates’s The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, Kaija Saariaho’s Innocence, and Gabriela Lena Frank’s El Último Sueño de Frida y Diego. New productions of Bellini’s I Puritani, Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde, and Bellini’s La Sonnambula bring fresh creative visions to life.

Listeners can once again enjoy rare archival treasures, from historic performances of Werther and Idomeneo to a 1968 anniversary presentation of Ponchielli’s La Gioconda.

Join us on Saturdays through May 30 for world-class performances, rising stars, timeless masterpieces, and unforgettable moments from the Met. Hosted by Debra Lew Harder.
