The Metropolitan Opera: The Hours
1
Renée Fleming makes her highly anticipated return to the Met in the world-premiere production of Pulitzer Prize–winning composer Kevin Puts’s The Hours, adapted from Michael Cunningham’s acclaimed novel. Inspired by Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway and made a household name by the Oscar-winning 2002 film version starring Meryl Streep, Julianne Moore, and Nicole Kidman, the powerful story follows three women from different eras who each grapple with their inner demons and their roles in society. The exciting premiere radiates with star power, with Kelli O’Hara and Joyce DiDonato joining Fleming as the opera’s trio of heroines. Phelim McDermott directs this compelling drama, with Met Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin on the podium to conduct Puts’s poignant and powerful score.

Kristine Opolais est la jeune femme dont les désirs contradictoires d’amour et de luxe conduisent à sa fin tragique, et Roberto Alagna incarne l’homme qui tombe amoureux d’elle dans le premier tube de Puccini. L’élégante production de Richard Eyre, qui situe l’action dans la France occupée des années 1940, a été l’un des moments forts de la saison 2015-2016 du Met. Massimo Cavalletti dans le rôle du frère de Manon et Brindley Sherratt dans le rôle de son admirateur vieillissant, et le chef d'orchestre principal Fabio Luisi est sur le podium.
