Episode Notes
The Metropolitan Opera New York presents Kevin Puts' The Hours.
Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Kevin Puts's hit new opera, which played to sold-out audiences during its world-premiere production last season, triumphantly returns. The original trio of legendary divas, sopranos Renée Fleming and Kelli O'Hara and mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato, reprise their celebrated portrayals of three women from different eras whose lives are connected through Virginia Woolf's novel Mrs. Dalloway. Bass-baritone Kyle Ketelsen also returns as the dying author Richard, and Kensho Watanabe conducts this heart-wrenching drama, adapted from Michael Cunningham's acclaimed novel and the Oscar-winning film it inspired.
