Conceived by Anthony Roth Costanzo and Sarah Ruhl, this high-handed pasticcio sets the climate crisis to a soundtrack of Vivaldi.

John Adams’ Antony and Cleopatra puts the composer's propulsive music at the service of both moments of riveting human drama and less effective scenes of battle and politics. 

A star-making turn from Emily D'Angelo can't rescue Jeanine Tesori's uninspiring new opera with which the Met opens its new season.
