Met Premiere
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.
Composer: Jeanine Tesori
Conductor:Conductor: Yannick Nézet-Séguin
