The conflict between the possibilities offered by modern military technology and the eternal fundamental ethical questions, drone strikes and the accompanying emotional and spiritual burdens: these are the themes at the centre of George Brant’s 2012 drama Grounded. Having found success with Anne Hathaway in the leading role, the play was later transformed into an opera by two-time Tony Award-winner Jeanine Tesori: first premiered in Washington in 2023, it is now coming to the Met. Taking on the two roles in the chamber opera under the baton of Yannick Nézet-Seguin will be Canadian mezzo-soprano Emily D'Angelo and American tenor Ben Bliss.
The broadcast will be sung in the original language, and shown with Hungarian and English subtitles.
The ‘Metropolitan Opera Live in HD’ transmissions have been made possible through the cooperation of our partner, liveincinema.eu s.r.o.
