Le Poisson Rouge

To mark the Britten centennial, this Met program explores the connections between the extraordinary English composer and those who came before and after, from early English songs to the music of Nico Muhly, a Britten devotee. As his opera Two Boys receives its U.S. premiere at the Met, Muhly will host the program and accompany countertenor Iestyn Davies in music by Britten as well as his own Four Traditional Songs, settings written for Davies. Soprano Kathleen Kim, appearing opposite Davies in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, will perform music from Britten’s fantastical opera as well as several Purcell songs realized by Britten. Soprano Patricia Racette will sing Britten’s Cabaret Songs, his colorful collaboration with W.H. Auden. Additional artists will be announced at a later date.
