Stage on Screen
Thursday 24th October 2024

Thu 24 Oct | 7.00pm| Encore Broadcast | Screen Two | (12A) | 165min | One Interval | Tickets: £16.50/£14.50

Tony Award–winning composer Jeanine Tesori’s powerful new opera Grounded premieres at the Metropolitan Opera, wrestling with often-overlooked issues created by 21st-century warmaking: the ethical conflicts created by the use of modern military technology and the psychological and emotional toll supposedly safe remote technology takes on our servicepeople.

Canadian mezzo soprano Emily D’Angelo stars as the hot-shot fighter pilot whose unplanned pregnancy takes her out of the cockpit and lands her in Las Vegas, operating a Reaper drone halfway around the world. American tenor Ben Bliss costars as the Wyoming rancher Eric in a production by Michael Mayer that brings this story to life in a high-tech staging which presents a variety of perspectives on the action. Met Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin takes the podium to conduct Tesori’s kaleidoscopic opera.

Complete the Stage On Screen experience with Prosecco and Canapés, available to enjoy during the interval of this screening. Place your order during the ticket booking process.
