Event Notes
Muhly’s “Marnie” (November 10, 2018): Isabel Leonard leads the new production. Christopher Maltman and Iestyn Davies also appear in the Muhly opera.
Composer Nico Muhly unveils his second new opera for the Met with his 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. Learn more: bit.ly/2CkOSoo
