Metropolitan Opera’s Live Simulcast of “Grounded”

Merlin's Magic Lantern

The next MetHD, the Metropolitan Opera’s live simulcast will be October 19 at Merlin’s Magic Lantern. Two-time Tony Award–winning composer Jeanine Tesori’s powerful new opera Grounded, commissioned by the Met and based on librettist George Brant’s acclaimed play, wrestles with the ethical quandaries and psychological toll of 21st-century warfare. 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. As she struggles to adjust to this new way of doing battle, she fights to maintain her sanity, and her soul, as she is called to rain down death by remote control. Met Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin oversees the Met premiere of Tesori’s kaleidoscopic score and a cast that also features tenor Ben Bliss as the Wyoming rancher who becomes Jess’s husband. Michael Mayer’s high-tech staging, using a vast array of LED screens, presents a variety of perspectives on the action, including the drone’s predatory view from high above. Doors open at 10:30am. The concession counter will be open. The production begins at 10:55am and runs 2hrs and 45 minutes.

BILINGUAL COMMUNITY WORKSHOP: Día de los Muertos Ofrendas with Fonda Portales, Director of University Art at Boise State University

The Hunger Coalition

For many in Latin American cultures, Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a time to celebrate our ancestors through contemporary religious and indigenous, pre-Columbian imagery. The ofrenda (altar) is the center of that celebration and is made vibrant with the visual symbolism of cempasúchil (marigold) flowers, calaveras (skulls), foods, photographs, and more. Building the ofrenda is a communal and familial practice that allows the lives of our ancestors to be retold and remembered. Join SVMoA for an interactive ofrenda-building workshop led by Fonda Portales, a Mesoamerican art historian and the Director of University Art at Boise State University. She will guide us through the elements represented in Aztec history as we build a communal altar together and place our photographs there. All are welcome. Participants are encouraged to bring a small item and photograph that represents a deceased loved one to include on the workshop altar.
