Having found success with Anne Hathaway in the leading role, the play was later transformed into an opera by two-time Tony Award-winner Jeanine Tesori: first premiered in Washington in 2023, it is now coming to the Met. Taking on the two roles in the chamber opera under the baton of Yannick Nézet-Seguin will be Canadian mezzo-soprano Emily D'Angelo and American tenor Ben Bliss.
The broadcast will be sung in the original language, and shown with Hungarian and English subtitles.
