After years of anticipation, a truly unmissable event arrives to The Met as the electrifying Lise Davidsen tackles one of the ultimate roles for dramatic soprano: the Irish princess Isolde in Wagner’s transcendent meditation on love and death. Heroic tenor Michael Spyres stars opposite Davidsen as the love-drunk Tristan. The momentous occasion also marks the advent of a new, Met-debut staging by Yuval Sharon—hailed by The New York Times as “the most visionary opera director of his generation” and the first American to direct an opera at the famed Wagner festival in Bayreuth—as well as Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin’s first time leading Tristan und Isolde at the Met. Mezzo-soprano Ekaterina Gubanova reprises her signature portrayal of Brangäne, alongside bass-baritone Tomasz Konieczny, who sings Kurwenal after celebrated Met appearances in Wagner’s Der Fliegende Holländer and Ring cycle. Bass-baritone Ryan Speedo Green makes an important role debut as King Marke.
The screening will begin at 11:55 p.m.* and will conclude at approximately 5:15 p.m.
*NOTE: The start time for this performance is about an hour earlier than the normal Met Opera start times.

Nerissa Young is a professor of instruction in the E.W. Scripps School of Journalism at Ohio University. She grew up on a family farm in southern West Virginia. In her classes, Young frequently discusses the effects of stereotypes in news and advertising and the traumatic effects of “isms” in different cultures. She grew up watching the TV show “The Dukes of Hazzard” and will discuss the show’s significance — its popularity led to the feature film — as a bridge between the rural comedies and films of the 1950s and 1960s and the smarter rural series and films of the 1980s up to the present. She agrees with a statement she once heard, “Just because we talk slow doesn’t mean we are.”
A smart and sharp comedy, AMERICAN FICTION has been highly praised by critics and is considered by many to be Jeffrey Wright’s finest performance in a career full of stellar roles. Featuring a fantastic supporting cast that includes Tracee Ellis Ross, Sterling K Brown, and John Ortiz, AMERICAN FICTION has not only won numerous awards on the independent film festival circuit, but has also been nominated for Best Picture by both the Golden Globes and The Critic’s Choice awards councils.
From A24 Studios, Love Lies Bleeding is a steamy, edgy romantic thriller that could have been pulled from the pages of an old pulp novel. This sophomore effort from British filmmaker Rose Glass (Saint Maud) also features a tour-de-force performance from Ed Harris as Lou’s father/nemesis “Lou Sr.”
Directed by the “Ethan” half of the illustrious Coen Brothers, and co-written by Ethan and his wife Tricia Cooke, DRIVE AWAY DOLLS takes some cues from the playbook of 1970’s exploitation films and features a supporting cast that includes Pedro Pascal, Matt Damon, and Beanie Feldstein. Blending the dark thrills of FARGO with the buddy-system comedy of BROAD CITY, this hip, modern-day road movie will make you keep your hands on the wheel so you can navigate the many twists and turns that only the mind of a Coen Brother can create!
