Jeanine Tesori / Libretto by George Brant
Grounded (Met Premiere)
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 servicepeople. 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 Né zet-Sé guin takes the podium to
conduct Tesori’s kaleidoscopic opera.

AN AMERICAN IN PARIS (BALLET)
The Royal Ballet celebrates Wheeldon’s extraordinary success in musical theatre by performing the
ballet scene from his Tony Award-winning musical An American in Paris. Set to Gershwin’s jazzy
melodies, the musical is inspired by the 1951 film of the same name starring Gene Kelly and Leslie
Caron. The musical went on to win four Tony awards. The full musical depicts a blossoming romance
between the American G.I. Jerry Mulligan and a French ballerina, Lise Dassin. The ballet excerpt was
Wheeldon’s take on one of the most memorable scenes from the film – an extended sequence in
which the two central characters dance through Paris.
