An opera in two acts and a glorious adaptation of Shakespeare’s immortal drama "Antony and Cleopatra" makes its Met premiere. First performed in 1966 at the opening of the new Metropolitan Opera House - Lincoln Center, it now returns as the newest opera by preeminent American composer John Adams. Adams himself takes the podium to conduct his lyrical and richly orchestrated score, leading a new staging by groundbreaking director Elkhanah Pulitzer that transports the story of troubled romance and political strife from ancient Rome to the Golden Age of Hollywood in the 1930s.

Following her debut in the company premiere of Adams’s "El Niño" in 2024, soprano Julia Bullock stars as the irresistible, captivating and complex Cleopatra opposite bass-baritone Gerald Finley as the conflicted Antony. Tenor Paul Appleby plays Caesar as he wars with Antony and mezzo-soprano Elizabeth DeShong acts out Antony’s forsaken wife and is Caesar’s sister, Octavia.

Run Time: Two (3) hours and 25 minutes, with one (1) intermission
