Composer Nico Muhly unveils his second new opera for the Met with this gripping reimagining of Winston Graham’s novel set in the 1950s about a beautiful mysterious young woman who assumes multiple identities. Director Michael Mayer and his creative team have devised a fast-moving cinematic world for this exhilarating story of denial and deceit which also inspired a film by Alfred Hitchcock. Mezzo-soprano Isabel Leonard sings the enigmatic Marnie and baritone Christopher Maltman is the man who pursues her—with disastrous results. Robert Spano conducts.
