‘Kavalier & Clay’ Hears an Unusual Call From the Met: Encore!

The Metropolitan Opera in New York City is reviving its season-opening production of "Kavalier & Clay" in February, following a successful run earlier this season. The opera, which is based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Michael Chabon, has been drawing large crowds and selling out performances. The decision to bring back the production is a testament to its popularity and the demand for it from opera-goers. The opera has been praised for its innovative approach to storytelling and its ability to appeal to a wide audience, including those who may not be traditional opera fans. The revival of the production will allow more people to experience the work and will help to build on the momentum that the opera has already generated. This is an unusual move for the Met, as it is rare for a production to be revived so quickly after its initial run, but it is a reflection of the opera's success and the desire to continue to engage with audiences.
