SUMMARY:Yuval Sharon in Conversation with Cori Ellison
DESCRIPTION:What happens when opera’s most fearless rule-breaker takes on one of its most monumental works? In this wide-ranging conversation\, Yuval Sharon joins dramaturg Cori Ellison to unpack his bold new staging of Tristan und Isolde at the Metropolitan Opera. Known as opera’s “disrupter-in-residence\,” Sharon brings his signature curiosity to the work\, opening up fresh ways of listening\, seeing\, and experiencing its emotional and philosophical intensity. \nWe’ll also dive into his book\, A New Philosophy of Opera\, a manifesto-meets-invitation that reimagines opera as something alive\, flexible\, and radically inclusive. From parking-lot performances to rethinking canonical structures\, Sharon shares why he believes opera isn’t dying: it’s constantly being reborn. \nThe event will be followed by a social hour with refreshments. \nLivestream: the event will be livestreamed (viewable up to 36 hours after the start of the event). WSNY Members receive livestream link automatically by e-mail; no need to pre-register.
