# Event Details

- **Event Name**: MET OPERA SPECIAL PRESENTATION: THE AMAZING ADVENTURES OF KAVALIER & CLAY
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 26 Feb, 2026 at 05:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Due to critical acclaim and overwhelming audience response, the Met-premiere production of Mason Bates’s THE AMAZING ADVENTURES OF KAVALIER & CLAY, recorded live earlier this season, has been added to our opera season!

In this exhilarating new adaptation of Michael Chabon’s Pulitzer Prize–winning novel, two Jewish cousins invent an anti-fascist superhero and launch their own comic-book series, hoping to recruit America into the fight against Nazism. Incorporating scintillating electronic elements and a variety of musical styles, composer Mason Bates’s eclectic score moves seamlessly among the three worlds of Gene Scheer’s libretto: Nazi-occupied Prague, the bustling streets of New York City, and the technicolor realm of comic-book fantasy. Bartlett Sher’s production provides spectacular visuals to match, with towering sets and proscenium-filling projections designed by 59 Studio. Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts the Met premiere-production, with baritone Andrzej Filończyk as the artist Joe Kavalier, who flees Czechoslovakia and arrives at the Brooklyn doorstep of writer Sam Clay, sung by tenor Miles Mykkanen.

Running time: 3 hrs, including one intermission
Sung in English, with subtitles
