Mason Bates's The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay
From the Metropolitan Opera in New York, Mason Bates's adaption of Michael Chabon's novel set in pre-WW2 New York, starring Andrzej Filo艅czyk and Miles Mykkanen.
In a new adaptation of Michael Chabon鈥檚 Pulitzer Prize鈥搘inning novel, set shortly before the outbreak of the Second World War, two Jewish cousins invent an anti-fascist superhero and launch their own comic-book series, hoping to recruit America into the fight against Nazism. Incorporating electronic elements and a variety of musical styles, composer Mason Bates鈥檚 eclectic score moves seamlessly among the three worlds of Nazi-occupied Prague, the bustling streets of New York City, and the technicolor realm of comic-book fantasy. Baritone Andrzej Filo艅czyk makes his Met debut as the artist Joe Kavalier, who flees Czechoslovakia and arrives at the Brooklyn doorstep of writer Sam Clay, sung by tenor Miles Mykkanen.
Presented from New York by Debra Lew Harder and Ira Siff
