The Met: Live in HD, the Metropolitan Opera's award-winning series of live high-definition cinema simulcasts, presents an encore showing of Jake Heggie's DEAD MAN WALKING, Saturday, October 28 at 12:55 pm ET, in the Warner Theatre's Oneglia Auditorium. Learn more about the showing here!

It’s rather surprising, really, for the audience to embrace a contemporary piece like DEAD MAN WALKING, no matter how easily it falls upon the ears, considering the subject matter. In this Ivo van Hove production, it starts with a rape and double murder in a rather graphic piece of film, the use of video being one of van Hove’s trademarks. It ends with a death by lethal injection, also graphically shown in live video.

xThe reviews are in for the premiere production of the new Met season, Dead Man Walking. American composer Jake Heggie’s masterpiece, the most widely performed new opera of the last 20 years, has its highly anticipated Met premiere, in a haunting new production by Ivo van Hove.
