Added due to popular demand, the Met-premiere production of Mason Bates’s The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay arrives in cinemas, recorded live earlier this season. The exhilarating operatic adaptation of Michael Chabon’s Pulitzer Prize–winning novel follows two Jewish cousins who create a comic-book superhero, hoping to recruit America into the fight against Nazism. Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts the dynamic new production by Tony Award–winning director Bartlett Sher.

Presented in partnership with the Des Moines Metro Opera. A representative from DMMO will be present 30 minutes before each screening to share background on the opera, answer questions, and connect with patrons.

Please note: The ticket price for this screening is $25 for general admission and $22 for seniors/students as set by the distributor.
