Dark Sisters is a suspenseful, emotional, and lyrical depiction of one woman's struggle with life and faith and the universal dilemma of whether to stay or leave. The opera opens a window into the lives of Eliza and her sister wives, members of the Fundamentalist Church of Latter Day Saints (FLDS), a polygamous sect based in the southwestern United States. Creators Muhly and Karam have drawn inspiration from the crush of media attention surrounding two of the many raids on FLDS compounds (the 2008 raid at the Yearning for Zion Ranch in Eldorado, TX and the 1953 raid at Short Creek, AZ), as well as from the stories of the more than 80 wives of Joseph Smith and Brigham Young.

The Metropolitan Opera will premiere its first new production of Verdi's Don Carlo since 1979 on Monday, November 22, with a cast that includes Roberto Alagna, Marina Poplavskaya, Simon Keenlyside, and Ferruccio Furlanetto. The new production of Verdi's monumental work, in which love, war, politics, and religion combine to tell a story that is epic in scale, will be directed by Nicholas Hytner, the artistic director of London's National Theatre, in a staging that 'reminds you it is one of the very greatest of all operas' (Guardian). All performances of Don Carlo will be conducted by Philadelphia Orchestra Music Director Designate Yannick Nézet-Séguin, who made a well-regarded Met debut last season with Carmen.
