Role debut as Marnie
On October 19, Isabel Leonard appears at the Metropolitan Opera to make her role debut as Marnie in Nico Muhly’s opera of the same name. This work, which premiered in London in 2017, tells the story of a young woman who makes a living by embezzling from her employers, moving on, and changing her identity until one day she is caught in the act.
Joining her are Christopher Maltman as Mark Rutland, Iestyn Davies as Terry Rutland, Janis Kelly as Mrs. Rutland and Denyce Graves as Marnie’s mother, with Robert Spano leading the orchestra.
The last performance, on November 10, will be broadcast in cinemas via Met in HD.
