GROUNDED

​MET PREMIERE


Saturday, October 19th, 2024 at 1pm
​

​​• The 2024–25 Live in HD season continues with the Met-premiere 
production of Jeanine Tesori’s powerful new opera Grounded. Based on librettist George Brant’s acclaimed play, the work wrestles with issues that go to the heart of 21st-century American society: a servicewoman’s struggle to balance family and career, the mental health challenges that follow combat experience, the morality of death rained down by remote control.

• The most prolific female composer in theater history, Jeanine
Tesori has written a diverse catalog for Broadway, opera, film, and television, and her most recent musical, Kimberly Akimbo, earned five Tony Awards (of eight nominations), including Best Musical and Best Original Score.

• Mezzo-soprano Emily D’Angelo, one of opera’s most compelling young stars, portrays Jess, a 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. Renowned tenor Ben Bliss joins the distinguished cast as the Wyoming rancher who becomes Jess’s husband.
​
• Met Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin oversees the high-tech staging by Michael Mayer, which uses a vast array of LED screens to present a variety of perspectives on the action, including the drone’s predatory view from high above.
