Dead Man Walking
October 18 @ 7:00 pm
Standing ovation to Lara M. for finally, finally making it easy to get our group to the revered and stunning Metropolitan Opera. For YEARS I have been trying to do this with zero success. Enter Lara from stage left enabling the group to quite literally walk on the red carpet, sweep up the gorgeous steps, and take our seats in the Dress Circle to experience The Met’s premiere of Dead Man Walking.
Cannot conjure up words better than what is on The Met’s website so here they are…
American composer Jake Heggie’s masterpiece, the most widely performed new opera of the last 20 years, has its highly anticipated Met premiere, in a haunting new production by Ivo van Hove. Based on Sister Helen Prejean’s memoir about her fight for the soul of a condemned murderer, Dead Man Walking matches the high drama of its subject with Heggie’s beautiful and poignant music and a brilliant libretto by Terrence McNally. Met Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin takes the podium for this landmark premiere, with mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato starring as Sister Helen. The outstanding cast also features bass-baritone Ryan McKinny as the death-row inmate Joseph De Rocher, soprano Latonia Moore as Sister Rose, and legendary mezzo-soprano Susan Graham—who sang Helen Prejean in the opera’s 2000 premiere—as De Rocher’s mother.

Let’s also remember the much unsung feature of broadway, the privilege of past dating. You can read about it HERE.
FEES: A service fee is included in the price of each ticket as organizing these events is not an insignificant allocation of time and resources – though we do love most every minute of our time spent masterminding evenings at the theater. The service fee varies from show to show based on cost, demand and our efforts to secure the tickets.
