The Metropolitan Opera’s 2023-24 season of Saturday matinee broadcasts continues with the powerful drama that opened the Met season last fall: "Dead Man Walking" by Jake Heggie.
Met Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin led this acclaimed American opera in its first Met performances.
The cast starred mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato as Sister Helen Prejean, fighting for the soul of a condemned man. Bass-baritone Ryan McKinny was Joseph De Rocher, a convict awaiting execution for a horrifying crime.
They were joined by Susan Graham and Latonia Moore in a gripping new production by Ivo van Hove.
"Dead Man Walking" will be heard over the Robert K. Johnson Foundation-Metropolitan Opera International Radio Network at 1:00 p.m. ET on Saturday, January 20.
