Tammy Wynette’s musical success and legacy was achieved through personal grit and a determination to sing, write music, and raise herself above her humble beginnings. From Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium, Great Performances pays tribute to Wynette’s musical legacy, presenting a star-studded concert that includes her iconic duets with former husband George Jones.
American composer Gabriela Lena Frank makes her Met debut with her first opera, a magical-realist portrait of painters Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. With a libretto by Pulitzer Prize–winning playwright Nilo Cruz, the opera is fashioned as a reversal of the Orpheus and Eurydice myth.
Soprano Lise Davidsen stars as the Irish princess Isolde in Wagner’s meditation on love and death with tenor Michael Spyres as the love-drunk Tristan. The production features new staging by director Yuval Sharon and is Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin’s first time leading this opera at the Met.
