Two local venues will stage the Metropolitan Opera’s performance of “The Nose” this week.

William Kentridge stormed the Metropolitan Opera with his inventive production of Dmitri Shostakovich’s opera, which dazzled opera and art lovers alike in its inaugural run in 2010. Now Paulo Szot reprises his acclaimed performance of a bureaucrat, whose satirical misadventures in search of his missing nose are based on Nikolai Gogol’s comic story.

The New York Times praised the opera.

“With unflagging energy and unfettered imagination, it powerfully seconds both the irreverent zaniness of the Gogol story on which the opera is based and the teeming exuberance of Shostakovich’s music,” a recent review raved.

Locally, viewers can see “The Nose” at 10:55 a.m. Saturday at the Whitefish Performing Arts Center and Stadium 14 in Kalispell. The theater will offer an encore showing at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday.

Tickets to the Whitefish show are $20 for adults or $5 for students, and are available with cash or check at the door. Doors open at 10 a.m. Refreshments are available.
