John Adams’s El Niño
Gala Premiere
Tuesday, April 23, 2024
The Met celebrates the return of eminent American composer John Adams with a gala event featuring a cocktail reception and dinner before curtain followed by dessert and Champagne at intermission. Adams’s acclaimed opera-oratorio has its long-awaited company premiere in a moving, fully staged new production that marks the Met debut of Lileana Blain-Cruz and brings together four fierce champions of new opera: Marin Alsop, one of the great conductors of our time; soprano Julia Bullock, a leading voice on and off stage; radiant mezzo-soprano J’Nai Bridges; and pathbreaking bass-baritone Davone Tines.
Production a gift of C. Graham Berwind, III
