seekingferretWow this new season at the Met!
I skipped my subscription this season because last season I only managed to see about half of the shows I'd bought tickets for, it's just been harder for me to get into the City lately. But I really want to re-up this year!
They're staging two operas by African-American composers, the return of last season's Terence Blanchard opera "Fire Up in My Bones" which I was so sad I missed, and a new revival of Anthony Davis's X, The Life and Times of Malcolm X. There's also a new production of Daniel Catan's Florenza en el Amazonas, and I absolutely adored the only Catan opera I've seen, Hija de Rappaccini, so I really want to see this. They're also doing a new production of a John Adams opera (though it's very Christian apparently, so probably I skip it) and a Jake Heggie opera and bringing back their The Hours opera by Kevin Puts. THIS IS A LOT OF LATE 20TH AND 21ST CENTURY OPERA FOR THE MET. Nothing by a female composer, obviously women are still physically incapable of writing opera, but wow. They're also doing Gluck's Orfeo again, hopefully I will finally get to see it, and they also will have a new Carmen and a new Forza del Destino. Anyway, I am excited.
