Yannick Nézet-Séguin (Conductor), Emily D'Angelo (Jess), Ben Bliss (Eric) Tony Award–winning composer Jeanine Tesori's powerful new opera Grounded premieres at the Metropolitan Opera, wrestling with often-overlooked issues created by 21st-century warmaking: the ethical conflicts created by the use of modern military technology and the psychological and emotional toll supposedly-safe remote technology takes on our servicepersons. Canadian mezzo-soprano Emily D'Angelo stars as the 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. American tenor Ben Bliss costars as the Wyoming rancher Eric in a production by Michael Mayer that brings this story to life in a high-tech staging which presents a variety of perspectives on the action. Met Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin takes the podium to conduct Tesori's kaleidoscopic opera, which will be transmitted live from the Met stage to cinemas on October 19.
