New York Opera Ticket

Enter the bardo, a supernatural realm between life and death, in this opera at the Metropolitan Opera House. The story follows Abraham Lincoln as he visits the tomb of his 11-year-old son, Willie, whose spirit cannot move on while his father’s grief holds him close.

Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts an ensemble led by baritone Peter Mattei as Lincoln. Christine Goerke, Stephanie Blythe, Anthony Roth Costanzo, and other singers portray the bardo’s kaleidoscopic residents, who join forces to help Willie escape. Director Lileana Blain-Cruz creates an otherworldly setting for this distinctly American tale, arriving at the Met during the nation’s 250th birthday celebrations.
