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.
