Metropolitan Opera - Lincoln in the Bardo

The Metropolitan Opera stages this adaptation of the Booker Prize-winning novel by George Saunders this fall! Lincoln in the Bardo features music composed by American Grammy-nominated composer Missy Mazzoli, with a libretto written by Pulitzer Prize-winner Royce Vavrek (Angels Bone) and stars Peter Mattei as Lincoln. Conducted by Yannick Nezet-Seguin, Lincoln in the Bardo provides an ethereal portrait of one of the American greats timed perfectly for the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States of America!
