Kaija Saariaho: L Amour de loin - MET broadcast
An opera written by a woman - first time at the MET
18 december 2016 18:00 - 20:00
Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho’s breakthrough opera was described by the New York Times as “transfixing…a lushly beautiful score.” Commissioned by the Salzburg Festival, where it was first seen in 2000, it will now finally have its Metropolitan Opera premiere in a dazzling new production by Robert Lepage, featuring glimmering ribbons of LED lights that extend across the length of the stage and over the orchestra pit. Eric Owens is the knight on a quest of love and Susanna Phillips is his lover on the other side of the sea. Conductor Susanna Mälkki makes her Met debut.
Conductor: Susanna Mälkki
Cast: Eric Owens, SusannaPhillips, Tamara Mumford
