Metropolitan Opera

📣Two-time Tony Award–winning composer Jeanine Tesori’s powerful new opera Grounded premieres at the Metropolitan Opera this fall, opening the 2024-25 Season!    Commissioned by the Met and based on librettist George Brant’s acclaimed play, Grounded wrestles with the ethical quandaries and psychological toll of 21st-century warfare, this powerful piece stars mezzo-soprano Emily D’Angelo, one of opera’s most compelling young stars.     In the leadup to the premiere in September, the Met will be hosting talks and events across New York City to welcome in new audiences, connect with communities of veterans, and ensure that this moving story is heard across the city. Head to the Met’s website to explore its partnerships with Pioneer Works, The Guggenheim Museum, The Intrepid Museum, and The Moth, as well as a post-performance talk on October 19 for Veterans: bit.ly/4dIz6G2     Grounded opens on September 23.

We’ve got exciting news!🎉 After six years of incredible artistic partnership, the Met is thrilled to announce that Maestro Nezet-Seguin will continue as the company’s Jeanette Lerman-Neubauer Music Director through the 2029–30 season. A tireless champion of new work and a master of opera’s classic staples, Maestro Nézet-Séguin will extend an extraordinary relationship with the Met that has already produced some of the brightest moments in company history. And, beginning with the 2027–28 season, he and the Met will embark on the ultimate collaboration between a conductor and an opera company: an exhilarating new staging of Wagner’s Ring cycle, directed by Yuval Sharon and starring soprano Lise Davidsen as Brünnhilde, a project that will culminate in full cycles in spring 2030. Here’s to many more years of exceptional musicmaking together! For more information and highlights of Maestro Nézet-Séguin’s future Met projects, visit bit.ly/3WTIuBo
