The Metropolitan Opera: The Hours
Synopsis
RenĂ©e Fleming makes her highly anticipated return to the Met in the world-premiere production of Pulitzer Prizeâwinning composer Kevin Putsâs The Hours, adapted from Michael Cunninghamâs acclaimed novel. Inspired by Virginia Woolfâs 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 OâHara and Joyce DiDonato joining Fleming as the operaâs trio of heroines. Phelim McDermott directs this compelling drama, with Met Music Director Yannick NĂ©zet-SĂ©guin on the podium to conduct Putsâs poignant and powerful score.
