Description: In this course, we will be exploring the idea of compassion and what it means to start to cultivate a compassionate heart towards ourselves and others. There is a connection between compassion and personal well-being. Research suggests that as we become more aware of ‘being’ with ourselves in a compassionate way, we gradually begin to recognize and experience a more fully embodied experience of who we are, which alters our chemistry and nervous system. To directly embody and experience the benefits of cultivating and anchoring attention in our body and heart requires learning how to train the mind and connect it to the intelligence of the heart."

Description: 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.
Sung in English.
Estimated run time is 2 hours, 45 minutes, with one intermission.

Description: In 1887 a struggling British physician attempted to supplement his income with a story he submitted to a British Magazine. It was called “A Study in Scarlet” and introduced the world to the inimitable team of Sherlock Holmes and his chronicler Dr. John Watson. The physician’s name was Arthur Conan Doyle and over the following forty years he would continue to regale the reading public with the exploits of the infinitely logical reasoning of a character who has become one of the greatest literary creations in the annals of publishing. The character created by Sir Arthur has inspired hundreds of films, stage plays, books, articles, TV and radio programs, and even video games. It continues to do so to this very day. The master Detective known as Sherlock Holmes may indeed be the most prolific literary character ever created.

Description: Since our nation’s founding, the most significant internal issue faced by our society has been the relationship between the races. The struggle for equality has taken place privately and publicly in many arenas including business, politics, the arts, and significantly professional sports. Breaking the color line in America’s National Pastime was a difficult task and it took the efforts of two very different men. One was Branch Rickey, a 64 year old white baseball executive for the Brooklyn Dodgers. The other was 26 year old Jack Roosevelt “Jackie” Robinson who withstood incredible abuse to become the first African American to play major League Baseball. Robinson not only withstood the challenges he faced, he excelled in his endeavors and proved by rugged determination that members of his race deserved an equal place in this most public arena. Some historians rate his accomplishments as equal in significance with the Supreme Court’s decision to outlaw segregation. Join us as we review the life and career of this extraordinary individual.

Description: Dubbed “The Great One” by Orson Welles, Jackie Gleason was one of the funniest men of the 20th century—but his life was nothing to laugh at, a man whose addiction to alcohol and gluttony was as monumental as his talent as a comic, actor, and mime. The Jackie Gleason of legend was the star of one of the most successful sitcoms of all time, while the private Jackie Gleason was haunted by insecurity and a dark childhood in which his father abandoned the family during the Depression and his brother died when he was a child. His wealth and extravagance were well known, yet to view his performances today is to witness comic talent so great that it takes the breath away. Rediscover the life and comedy of Jackie Gleason.

Description: From the dawn of human flight, pilots have been celebrated as heroes, akin to medieval knights. Before the Wright Brothers, notable flights took place in Germany, France, and Brazil. Following their historic Kitty Hawk achievement, aviation technology rapidly advanced, with speed and distance records frequently shattered. Pioneers like Bleriot, Nieuport, Costa, Simson, Rickenbacker, Earhart, and Von Richthofen became legends, leading into the golden age of barnstorming. Today, the thrill of aviation continues through the Space Race, maintaining the excitement and innovation in aerospace history.

Description: This is an encore presentation. Previously recorded.
Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts his first Met performances of Strauss’s white-hot one-act tragedy, which receives its first new production at the company in 20 years. Claus Guth, one of Europe’s leading opera directors, gives the biblical story—already filtered through the beautiful and strange imagination of Oscar Wilde’s play—a psychologically perceptive, Victorian-era setting rich in symbolism and subtle shades of darkness and light. Headlining the new staging is soprano Elza van den Heever as the abused and unhinged antiheroine, who demands the head of Jochanaan, sung by celebrated baritone Peter Mattei. Tenor Gerhard Siegel is Salome’s lecherous stepfather, King Herod, with mezzo-soprano Michelle DeYoung as his wife, Herodias, and tenor Piotr Buszewski as Narraboth.
Sung in German.
Estimated run time is 2 hours, 15 minutes, with no intermission.
