"Our lessons learned during the two years of the pandemic are that the future of the Met, and of opera, rely upon ceaselessly breaking new and diverse artistic ground. "Our 2022–23 Live in HD season picks up where we will have left off at the end of the current season, with more new productions and more Met premieres than in recent decades," said Met General Manager Peter Gelb. Four additional new productions will be presented throughout the season: Giordano's Fedora with soprano Sonya Yoncheva in the title role Wagner's Lohengrin starring tenor Piotr Beczała and two Mozart operas conducted by Nathalie Stutzmann, including a cinematic staging of Don Giovanni by Ivo van Hove and Simon McBurney's production of Die Zauberflöte, which raises the orchestra pit to allow interaction with the cast. In addition to Medea, the 2022–23 Live in HD season will feature two more company premieres, both led by Met Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin: Kevin Puts's The Hours, in its world-premiere production, starring the powerhouse trio of soprano Renée Fleming, mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato, and soprano Kelli O'Hara, and the Met premiere of Terence Blanchard's first opera, Champion, about the life of boxer Emile Griffith. The 2022–23 season begins with a live transmission of Cherubini's Medea, a Met-premiere production starring soprano Sondra Radvanovsky in the title role.
