📣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. On stage through October 19. Met Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts.
