Met Opera: Hours, The

The world-premiere staging of Kevin Puts’s The Hours, adapted from Michale Cunningham’s acclaimed novel, which also served as the inspiration for the Oscar-winning film, arrives in cinemas this January. In her highly acclaimed return to the Met, soprano Renée Fleming joins soprano Kelli O’Hara and mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato to portray three women from different eras who grapple with their inner demons and their roles in society. Phelim McDermott, who recently created the Met’s acclaimed production of Philip Glass’ Akhnaten, directs this compelling drama, and Yannick Nézet-Séguin takes the podium to conduct Puts’s powerful score.
