The Hours is a new opera with music by Kevin Puts and a libretto by Greg Pierce. Based on the novel of the same name by Michael Cunningham and its film adaptation, the production was chosen by star soprano Renée Fleming for her return to the Met stage. During the intermission interview, Puts and Pierce share that the piece was written almost entirely during lockdown, and shared their material and questions for each other via texts, calls, and emails. Fleming is joined onstage by mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato, and soprano Kelli O’Hara.
Act one starts strong with scenes featuring DiDonato as Virginia Woolf in 1923 working on her novel Mrs Dalloway; Fleming as Clarissa in the 1990s, preparing a dinner for her friend Richard, dying of AIDS; and the Metropolitan Opera chorus. Costumes by Tom Pye for the chorus have a startling dye job that, under the correct lighting, give the effect of the entire production being set underwater. However, the lighting changes from scene to scene, and the chorus never changes costume, leaving only a few further scenes in the remainder of the opera where the effect is again employed.
Puts’ score is most effective in its slower, lyrical sections, showcasing the Met Opera’s full orchestra. While not having heard any other work by Puts, the driving sections that propel the plot are typical of any other contemporary composer, i.e. Nico Muhly and John Adams, and not evocative of any personal style. Wind and string sections play highly rhythmic patterns that have slow harmonic changes, surely a nod to Philip Glass who scored the film version. The prelude to the first scene featuring Woolf is unfortunately scored for solo piano. It is both ineffective and jarring, barely able to accompany DiDonato’s rich voice by itself. The piano is brought back several times, and used for effect alongside the orchestra, to the detriment of the score as a whole.
It is in this scene when we are first introduced to Leonard Woolf played by the entirely miscast Sean Panikkar. Next to DiDonato, Panikkar looks like a hulking 7-foot-tall Adonis thirty years too young to play her husband. He had a pleasant tenor voice, but weak diction. Having to always share the stage with DiDonato also made it seem that his acting abilities were lacking, but I come up with a short list of other singers that could hold their own next to her.
Following this we are taken back to the 90s and treated to one of the two most striking scenes in the entire opera - the second is also in the 90s timeline, which is indicative. Clarissa is shopping for flowers and flirting with the owner, Barbara, played by Kathleen Kim. Kim has a fantastic coloratura voice and stage presence, put to great use by Puts who quotes several Mozart arias, a la Corgliano’s Ghosts of Versailles: the high Fs of the Queen of the Night enticing Clarissa to buy Ha-ha-ha-hydrangeas, and the final Pa-pa-pa-pa’s of Papagena for peonies. The entire chorus encircles them, bunches of flowers in both hands, the tableau bursting with colour and texture, reminding me of the framing of Mother Mary in the The Cell (2000) as well as the final shots of Midsommar (2019). My only complaint is that the bouquets could have been bigger and even more vibrant.
We are finally introduced to Kelli O’Hara’s Laura Brown in the 1950s, reading Mrs Dalloway in her bed, dreading to get up and greet her family on her husband’s birthday. This section came across as the weak link as the character had nonexistent motivations for her actions and a clichéd plot. How many stories in film and television have we already seen about a repressed housewife in the 1950s ready to buckle under the pressure of keeping the surface of her life glossy and clean? Brown feels no connection to her child and leaves him with a neighbour - also played by Kim - as she runs to a motel to kill herself with a bottle of pills. Her husband has done the irredeemable deed of buying her flowers and letting her sleep in on his birthday, and constantly showering their son with affection.
Kelly O’Hara’s acting was always visible, in the sense that it was constantly distracting to watch her and see her, for lack of a better term, go through the motions. Fleming and DiDonato in comparison seemed completely authentic. They were characters plucked from their lives and put on the stage, reacting to everything around them, and making choices and decisions moment to moment. There is something inexplicably off-putting about O’Hara’s performance, not even getting into the fact that the part is out of her grasp. The notes were there, of course, but the timbre of her voice was frequently strained, and not pleasant to listen to. Beside her co-stars there is a clearly audible gulf of technical proficiency between her and them.
Supporting the three leads is an ensemble of singers of mixed quality. Clarissa’s dying friend Richard is sung to perfection by bass-baritone Kyle Ketelsen. His rich voice could project at every dynamic, convey every emotion, and delivered every word with clear diction. His acting was also far better than most opera singers and met Fleming beat for beat, especially in the best scene of the entire opera where Clarissa visits Richard for one last time in his New York apartment. Clarissa’s partner Sally was played by Denyce Graves, whom I loved in Marnie, but sounded less than stellar in this live broadcast, every note uttered with a grating squawk.
In the 1950s Laura Brown’s husband delivered his lines serviceably, but not memorably. Her son was a a scene-stealer, and had a voice that projected loudly and clearly over the entire orchestra and chorus in the finale of Act 1. Back in the 20s, DiDonato is joined by another mezzo-soprano, Eve Gigliotti, playing the maid Nelly. From register to register Gigliotti’s voice was resonant and clear and I could only think of other parts I would love to hear her perform.
Finally, in another double-role, Sylvia D’Eramo plays Kitty in the 50s, and Woolf’s sister Vanessa in 1923. D’Eramo's voice seemed to belong to another singer, sounding more mature and full than her youthful looks would have you expect. She never took the focus away from O’Hara or DiDonato, but maybe should have been given the role of Brown instead. Next to O’Hara, D’Eramo was much more interesting to listen to and watch, and was able to play the young woman sharing a fleeting kiss with Brown, and mother to three as Vanessa.
There are two choices in this production that served no readily apparent purpose, and therefore failed in execution. First, a lone countertenor from the chorus singing wordlessly at the three leads throughout, the symbolism unclear if it had intention in the first place. Additionally, there is a dance cohort onstage for nearly the entirety of the production that serves no purpose other than to fill space, clutter the scenes with extra bodies, and brandish empty symbols of books, flowers, and kitchen appliances in the corresponding time periods. The oddest choice of all, to have one male dancer among the dozen or so women.
The set was disappointing and did not make use at all of the space and funds that the Met surely has at its disposal. Yet, in the second act there is one wow-element where a large silk screen comes billowing down from the ceiling and stretches right to the bottom of the stage to catch a set of black-and-white projections, a flashback with Clarissa and a young Richard on the beach, after which it is released and cascades to pool on the floor behind the singers. Again, it seems as the most care and attention is made for Fleming’s 1990s scenes.
Throughout the opera there is a reference to Richard’s book being great, but suffering from a ‘tacked-on’ ending. Ironically, this opera also suffers from the same fate. The finale is a chance for the leading women to shed their characters - none does so faster than O’Hara - adjusting their body language, and gazing directly into the audience, to address us in a trio containing only a handful of sentences, repeated ad nauseum with nearly no melodic variation, ‘Here is the world and you live in it. All alone. You try.’ I couldn’t tell if it was supposed to be sentimental, uplifting, melancholy, or what, but ultimately it comes across as smarmy. Richard Strauss this is not, despite Fleming and co. giving it their all.

there's something very funny about wymack recruiting neil and seeing him as this jumpy, cagey asf kid with alarmingly absent parents and then watching him befriend the monsters, speak three languages, start fights with riko moriyama, be incredibly apathetic to violence, join the perfect court and reveal that he uses alcohol as pain reliever because it's too dangerous for him to go to a hospital, unite the team and fall in love with wymack's other problem child, all for him to turn out to be the son of kengo moriyama's right hand man.

Ópera baseada no livro de Michael Cunningham e no filme de 2002. Comissionada por “Metropolitan Opera” e “The Philadelphia Orchestra”.
Poderosa história sobre três mulheres de diferentes épocas que lutam com seus demônios internos e seus papéis na sociedade. Três mulheres que estão ligadas pela obra-prima seminal de Woolf - uma que o está escrevendo, outra que o está lendo e uma terceira que aparentemente está vivendo sua trama.
O cenário tripartite desta ópera é um aspecto essencial de sua história. O primeiro local é Richmond, um subúrbio tranquilo de Londres onde Virginia Woolf viveu com seu marido, Leonard, enquanto escrevia Mrs. Dalloway em 1923. O segundo cenário é Los Angeles em 1949, onde Dan e Laura Brown estão lutando para se conformar com uma vida suburbana americana adequada em meados do século. O terceiro cenário é Manhattan, no final do século 20, onde Clarissa Vaughan se prepara para dar uma festa para o poeta Richard, que enfrenta os últimos estágios da AIDS.
The MET: Quando Philip Glass compôs a partitura para a versão em filme de The Hours, ele escolheu enquadrar as três histórias com a mesma linguagem musical, mas parece que você adotou uma abordagem diferente.
Compositor Kevin Puts: Inicialmente, eu não tinha certeza de quão abertamente eu queria estabelecer os três períodos de tempo diferentes, mas isso acabou acontecendo naturalmente. A música da Virgínia tem uma qualidade muito sobressalente, quase barroca, com a harmonia sempre se subvertendo de formas que você não espera. Eu queria que a sensação de instabilidade em sua música refletisse a complexidade de sua mente e os caminhos imprevisíveis que ela percorre em sua escrita. Então para Clarissa, que está em Nova York nos anos 90, a música tem uma vibração urbana, talvez com raízes em alguns dos compositores americanos pós-minimalistas que eu amo. Mas para Laura, que se sente presa em uma vida que não é autêntica, eu queria, ao invés disso, retratar um ambiente - esta suposta felicidade doméstica suburbana - que é estranho a ela. Portanto, ela tem um brilho inspirado na música daquela época. Com o tempo, as três começam a cantar juntas, culminando em um trio final no qual finalmente se descobrem fora da realidade.
Diretor Phelim McDermott concebeu uma série de pequenas salas que flutuam dentro e fora do palco, fazendo uma transição perfeita de um período para outro - ao mesmo tempo em que também permite que várias histórias sejam reproduzidas simultaneamente. "Musicalmente, você pode ouvir os mundos se confrontando uns com os outros", diz ele. "Quando um entra em foco, o outro está desaparecendo e ecoando, ou ainda está presente como um sonho na mente de outra pessoa. E as peças do cenário funcionarão da mesma maneira. Muito da história é sobre a vida interna destas mulheres, suas paisagens emocionais internas, então a dança que a coreógrafa Annie-B Parson está criando é como o clima emocional de uma cena, acrescentando uma metáfora visual ao que a música está fazendo".
"Sempre tive a convicção de que uma ópera deve ser escrita apenas quando precisa ser cantada - a emoção é tão grande que falar não é suficiente. E é exatamente isso que temos aqui. Apesar de lidar com a morte de frente, na verdade ela é uma afirmação de vida e conta uma história intemporal. As lutas dos personagens são compartilhadas universalmente, e destacando-as através das diferentes personalidades e períodos, todos os que assistem a ela serão capazes de encontrar uma parte de si mesmos na história". - Joyce DiDonato

Personagens Principais - Clarissa Vaughan: editora de livros em Nova York em 1999. - Virginia Woolf: autora do livro Sra. Dalloway, na Inglaterra em 1923. - Laura Brown: dona de casa e mãe, em Los Angeles em 1949. - Richard: o amigo de Clarissa.
Sinopse A ópera se realiza em um único dia. Clarissa está na cidade de Nova York em 1999. Virgínia está em Richmond, Inglaterra, em 1923. Laura está em Los Angeles, em 1949.
Ato I O coro, representando os pensamentos de Virgínia, mexe com a frase de abertura do romance em que ela está trabalhando, Mrs. Dalloway.
Clarissa e sua parceira Sally estão preparando seu apartamento em West Village para a festa de hoje celebrando o melhor amigo de Clarissa, Richard, um escritor que está morrendo de AIDS. Sally duvida que Richard esteja bem o suficiente para comparecer, mas Clarissa se recusa a aceitar o péssimo estado de saúde de Richard.
Clarissa, evitando a ansiedade em relação ao Richard, parte para comprar flores para a festa. Ela se encanta com as maravilhas da Praça Washington e fica intrigada com o canto do outro mundo do Homem Sob o Arco. Ela se encontra com Walter, um escritor que compartilha as dúvidas de Sally sobre se Richard estará bem o suficiente para sua festa.
Virginia Woolf acaba de acordar e entrar em seu estúdio, ansiosa para começar seu novo romance. Enquanto observa seu marido, Leonard edita rascunhos, ela reflete sobre os muitos papéis que ele desempenha em sua vida.
Clarissa entra na floricultura e Barbara, a florista, a cumprimenta com um beijo. Clarissa escapa para uma fantasia momentânea na qual Barbara é sua amante e elas nunca têm que sair da loja. Ela encontra as flores perfeitas e sai em busca de Richard.
Em seu estúdio, Virgínia acha difícil começar a trabalhar em seu romance. Ela se distrai com os pensamentos de Londres e sua agitação, contrastando estas visões com os subúrbios sem vida de Richmond. Apesar de seus receios de sucumbir à depressão, ela começa a escrever, e ela flui.
Em sua cama em Los Angeles, Laura Brown está lendo Mrs. Dalloway que Virginia está escrevendo. Laura teme enfrentar seus deveres de esposa e mãe, já que hoje é o aniversário de seu marido Dan e seu jovem filho Richie está esperando por ela lá embaixo. Ela se afasta de sua ansiedade, voltando para Mrs. Dalloway.
Laura entra em sua cozinha para encontrar seu enérgico marido Dan e seu filho Richie de seis anos preocupado com ela. Ela tenta convencê-los de que está bem, mas internamente agoniza sobre seus medos e inseguranças. Dan, inconsciente da gravidade das lutas dela, sai para o trabalho.
Clarissa está irritada com as dúvidas de Sally sobre a saúde de Richard e se pergunta se Sally é a melhor opção para ela. Virginia percebe que uma personagem de seu romance deve morrer, mas não tem certeza de quem. Laura se debate com a tarefa de fazer um bolo de aniversário com Richie enquanto controla sua ansiedade.
A caminho da casa de Richard, Clarissa pára na esquina onde, anos atrás, ela terminou a relação romântica nascente deles, rompendo-a usando uma frase cruel que ela agora lamenta. Ela reflete sobre como uma frase pode mudar o curso de uma vida.
Clarissa chega ao apartamento de Richard para se certificar de que ele se lembre da festa. Richard, frágil e esquecido, diz a ela que não consegue encarar a festa, mas ela se atira a ele, dizendo-lhe que ele precisa se esforçar mais. Ele releva a ela que às vezes ele ainda os imagina como amantes.
Na cozinha de Laura, sua ansiedade aumenta quando ela tenta assar o bolo com Richie. Virginia pergunta a sua cozinheira, Nelly, se ela acredita que uma jovem mulher poderia começar o dia alegremente e depois decidir se matar. Isto leva Virginia a uma fantasia suicida que prefigura a forma como ela acabará por terminar sua própria vida.
Kitty, vizinha de Laura, visita e diz a Laura que talvez esteja com câncer. Laura escapa para uma fantasia romântica sobre Kitty. Ao sair dela, ela se vê beijando Kitty enquanto ela a consola. Virgínia, muito ansiosa para escrever, decide ir para o mundo.
Clarissa volta para casa para encontrar Sally ocupada preparando a festa, concentrada em preocupações práticas sobre os assentos. Clarissa tem a sensação de que algo está terrivelmente errado com Richard e volta para o apartamento dele. Virgínia, tomada pela necessidade de fugir, não sabe se deve pegar o trem para Londres ou terminar sua vida no rio. Laura sente uma necessidade desesperada de fugir de sua sufocante vida doméstica e deixa Richie com a babá, dirigindo em direção a Pasadena, sem saber onde ela vai parar. As três mulheres estão unidas em sua necessidade de escapar e em seu terror pelo que podem encontrar.
Ato II Laura se vê em uma cama em um quarto de hotel, com um frasco de comprimidos e o livro Mrs. Dalloway. Ela não sabe porque está ali ou o que fará agora: matar-se ou ler o livro. Ela tenta se recompor na última hora, lembrando-se de uma interação surreal com a recepcionista do hotel.
Laura lê Mrs. Dalloway, conjurando Virgínia, que é vista se aproximando do rio - talvez para se matar? Laura também contempla o suicídio. Virginia está momentaneamente distraída pela voz do Homem Sob o Arco. Leonard chega e diz à Virgínia que estava convencido de que desta vez a encontraria morta, e que teria que dizer à irmã dela, Vanessa, que ele havia falhado. Virgínia está comovida com a profundidade da preocupação dele.
Clarissa está voltando para a casa de Richard quando escuta um ensaio de coro de igreja. A letra deles parece escrita para ela. Fora do apartamento de Richard, ela encontra Louis, o ex-namorado de Richard, que está debatendo se deve ou não visitá-lo. Ele recorda o verão que os três passaram em Wellfleet, desencadeando um flashback retratando a delirante proximidade que Clarissa e Richard uma vez tiveram, uma proximidade que excluía Louis.
Virginia, de volta ao seu estúdio, ouve vozes de crianças e se pergunta se ela está perdendo a cabeça. Ela vai ao seu jardim para encontrar sua irmã Vanessa e seus três filhos realizando um funeral para um pássaro moribundo. Quando Virginia faz maniacamente uma sepultura para o pássaro, Vanessa percebe a gravidade da doença de sua irmã. No quarto do hotel, Laura se castiga por considerar suicídio quando tem um filho pequeno e outro a caminho. Ela está determinada a permanecer viva e a enfrentar seus deveres maternais.
Clarissa entra no apartamento de Richard para encontrá-lo em pé no parapeito de sua janela. Ela está aterrorizada, mas ele parece finalmente estar em paz. Enquanto ela tenta convencê-lo a desistir, ele explica que tudo o que ele queria era escrever algo bom, algo que pudesse tocar alguém. Ele diz a Clarissa que a ama e salta pela janela, caindo para sua morte na rua abaixo.
Enquanto Clarissa corre para o corpo quebrado de Richard, o coro incorpora o curto-circuito psíquico dela, remontando imagens e palavras do dia. Laura se recompõe para deixar o hotel e dirige pela via expressa de Pasadena. Virginia, no túmulo do pássaro, percebe que sua sanidade está se esvaindo. Todas as três mulheres parecem estar se afogando.
Laura pega o Richie na casa da babá, a Sra. Latch. Richie diz a sua mãe que estava com medo de que ela tivesse desaparecido porque ela tinha algo "crescendo dentro dela", que foi o que ele ouviu Kitty dizer. Na mesa de jantar de Woolf, Virginia agradece a Leonard pela felicidade que ele lhe deu. Dan volta para casa para comemorar seu aniversário e expressa o quanto sua família o fez feliz. Os amigos de Richard se reúnem em sua festa, agora um velório. Sally tenta convencer Clarissa de que ela fez tudo o que podia por ele. Clarissa percebe que sua falha em reconhecer o terrível estado físico e mental de Richard pode ter contribuído para sua morte. A mãe de Richard, Laura, chega à festa e tenta expressar pesar por seus fracassos como mãe.
Enquanto os outros recuam, Clarissa, Laura e Virginia se encontram em um espaço que transcende o tempo e o lugar, onde finalmente podem se perceber. Elas se espantam de que o tempo todo, enquanto viajavam por seus dias sentindo-se sozinhas, havia outras que sentiam o mesmo, influenciando e sendo influenciadas por outras de maneiras que elas não conseguiam entender.

Ganz große Oper live aus der Met: An einem Tag in den 20ern ringt Virginia Woolf (rechts) um einen Anfangssatz für Mrs. Dalloway (sie organisiert eine Party und besorgt die Blumen selber) und ist mit ihrem Leben unzufrieden, an einem Tag in dem 50ern liest die amerikanische Hausfrau und Mutter Laura (links) Mrs Dalloway, obwohl sie eine Geburtstagsparty für ihren liebenden, aber unaufmerksamen Mann organisieren sollte und ist mit ihrem Leben unzufrieden und an einem Tag um das Jahr 2000 organisiert Clarissa (mitte) eine Party für Richard, ihre hoffnungslose und an AIDS erkrankte große Liebe. Er nennt sie Mrs. Dalloway und soll einen Literaturpreis bekommen, weil er stirbt, ist aber überhaupt nicht in der Verfassung für eine Party. Clarissa ist auch nicht richtig zufrieden mit ihrem Leben. Wo wir es gerade von berühmten Romanen haben, die an einem einzigen Tag spielen. Michael Cunninghams vielgepriesenen The Hours haben wir leider immer als So-ein-Frauenbuch abgetan und Stephen Daldrys Verfilmung in reflexhafter Nicole-Kidman-Vermeidung geschmäht, aber als monumentales Bühnenspektakel mit herrlichster Musik für drei grandiose, überlebensgroße Operndiven funktioniert es für uns natürlich ganz fabelhaft. Wir freuen uns halt immer, wenn jemand singt.... (Wir nehmen uns jetzt trotzdem mal vor, diesen Film anzuschauen. Der hat Musik von Philip Glass, so fügt sich doch alles wieder schön zusammen.)

Hey just to ruin your day I want you guys to remember that before Drake in the second book Andrew had been making genuine steps towards recovery even if we didn’t get to see it very closely
Andrew being on his meds for the first and second book make it hard to see, especially since we didn’t meet him before he was on his meds but it can be inferred that he was making real progress on reclaiming his autonomy
He went to therapy regularly in which he actually talked to and got along with his therapist. He was able to have an ongoing relationship with Roland, and even though he insisted on using handcuffs that’s actually a healthy coping mechanism (he was able to recognise a problem which caused him distress aka people touching him without permission and applied a non-harmful solution which allowed him to continue without running away that’s the definition of learning to cope), he was not actively self-harming which we know by the fact that he has scars, not wounds, scratches or anything else, just healed scars. He was also able to accept and embrace his sexuality despite his history. He still has suicidal ideation but he is no longer practicing suicidal tendencies, which is genuinely huge progress
His biggest issues during the book are his meds (which seem to make it harder for him to regulate his emotions and his reactions and therefore causes him to the extreme measures which are familiar to him aka violence) and his relationship with Aaron/Kevin caused by an unhealthy desire to protect people. He was making an actual recovery, albeit a slow one, which just makes what happens to him all the more horrible
During the second book it had been seven years since he experienced that kind of abuse, seven years in which he clearly was slowly getting better only to be retraumatised again
Just
I think about this all the time I need to inflict this onto someone else
