Join us on Wednesday, November 18 at 3:00 PM for a free screening of the Metropolitan Opera's LINCOLN IN THE BARDO.American composer Missy Mazzoli arrives at the Met with a bewitching adaptation of George Saunders's Booker Prize-winning novel, with a libretto by Royce Vavrek. Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts the dazzling production by Lileana Blain-Cruz.
Set in the "bardo," the intermediate state between this life and the next, the opera examines Abraham Lincoln's grief following the loss of his son and follows the boy as he struggles to move on to the next life. To tell this otherworldly story, Mazzoli crafts a score that draws inspiration from leading contemporary composers while conjuring a genre-defying sound-world distinctly her own.
Music by Missy Mazzoli | Libretto by Royce Vavrek
