Met Brings New Production of Lulu to Theatres on November 21

A live performance of The Met's new production of William Kentridge's staging of Alban Berg's opera, Lulu, will be shown in theaters across the United States and Canada on Saturday November 21st at 12:30pm ET. Lulu is screening as part of "The Met: Live in HD," which reaches more than 2,000 movie theatres in 70 countries around the world.

Acclaimed artist and director William Kentridge applies his unique theatrical vision to Alban Berg's Lulu, one of the most important, not to mention notorious, stage works of the 20th century. Based on Frank Wedekind's stage plays, Berg's notorious femme fatale shatters lives, including her own. Soprano Marlis Petersen has excited audiences around the world with her portrayal of the tour-de-force title role, a wild journey of love, obsession, and death. Susan Graham joins a winning cast, including Daniel Brenna and Johan Reuter.

There is a bit of Louise Brooks found in this production. For more information on local times and participating theatres, visit metopera.org (for the United States) or cineplex.com (for Canada).
