Met Opera: The Hours
The Hours was adapted from Michael Cunningham’s acclaimed novel, which was inspired by Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway and made a household name by the Oscar-winning 2002 film version starring Meryl Streep, Julianne Moore and Nicole Kidman. The powerful story follows three women from different eras who each grapple with their inner demons and their roles in society. Phelim McDermott directs this compelling drama, with Met Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin on the podium to conduct Puts’ poignant and powerful score.
The opera, filmed live in HD on the Met stage, will play in select Australian cinemas from Saturday 28 January.
Feedback/Comments
fantastic value. loved the performance and also the ease of booking.
This is a wonderful new opera based on The Hours, which was made into an award-winning film from a Pulitzer Prize book inspired by Virginia Woolfe's Mrs Dalloway. The music, production, interpretation and SINGING is superlative. With Renee Fleming and Joyce Di Donato in particular as star singers supported by an excellent cast. It is only on in the cinemas for one week. Don't miss it!
