Neither Rolando Villazon nor Giuseppe Filianoti will sing Edgardo in Lucia di Lammermoor on Saturday at 1:00 p.m., New York time. Piotr Beczala will. The performance is being broadcast worldwide as part of The Met: Live in HD series. Beczala already sang as Edgardo at the Met in the fall of 2008. He is currently singing Lensky in Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin at the Met.
