“My part definitely puts a nice little wrench into things,” said the Hawaiian baritone, who is appearing at the Metropolitan Opera in a revival of Verdi’s opera. The production will be the first live in HD broadcast of the 2018-19 season, shown in movie theatres around the world on Saturday. Kelsey is Amonasro, the Ethiopian king whose people have been conquered by the Egyptians and whose daughter Aida has been enslaved. The story at first seems to be a simple love triangle involving Aida, the warrior Radames and the jealous princess Amneris. This season he has a second HD performance in a new production of Verdi’s “La Traviata,” in which he again plays an interfering father.
