‘Marnie’ is next for Met in Live in HD series
TORRINGTON — The 2018-19 season of The Met: Live in HD will continue at the Warner Theatre on Saturday, Nov. 10 with the Met premiere of Muhly’s “Marnie” at 12:55 p.m. in the Nancy Marine Studio.
A complimentary 45 minute pre-opera lecture by Nunzio DeFilippis will be offered in the Studio Theatre Lobby two hours before the broadcast.
Composer Nico Muhly unveils his second new opera for the Met with this gripping reimagining of Winston Graham’s novel, set in the 1950s, about a beautiful, mysterious young woman who assumes multiple identities. Director Michael Mayer and his creative team have devised a fast-moving, cinematic world for this exhilarating story of denial and deceit, which also inspired a film by Alfred Hitchcock. Mezzo-soprano Isabel Leonard sings the enigmatic Marnie, and baritone Christopher Maltman is the man who pursues her - with disastrous results. Robert Spano conducts.
