Renée Fleming makes her highly anticipated return to the Met in the world-
premiere production of Pulitzer Prize–winning composer Kevin Puts’s The Hours,
adapted from Michael Cunningham’s acclaimed novel. 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. The exciting premiere radiates with star
power with Kelli O’Hara and Joyce DiDonato joining Fleming as the opera’s trio
of heroines. Phelim McDermott directs this compelling drama, with Met Music
Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin on the podium to conduct Puts’s poignant and
powerful score. This live cinema transmission is part of the Met’s award-winning
Live in HD series, bringing opera to movie theaters across the globe.

English StreamText captioning is available for the Met’s transmission of The Hours
here. A transcript of the transmission will also be available to view after the live
performance.
