Grounded (Preview)
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, has its awaited company premiere. Mezzo-soprano Emily D’Angelo, one of opera’s most compelling young stars, headlines in the tour-de-force role of 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.
