The performance will also be shared live on PBS affiliates nationwide. With the full Met Orchestra and Chorus in tow, music director Yannick Nézet-Séguin will conduct an all-star cast of American singers - mezzo-soprano Michelle DeYoung, bass-baritone Eric Owens, soprano Ailyn Pérez, and tenor Matthew Polenzani - in a performance of the Verdi Requiem. This weekend, in commemoration of the 20th anniversary of 9/11, the Metropolitan Opera will hold its first live performances in the Metropolitan Opera House since March 2020. That goes not only for the crisis the country plunged into twenty years ago this week, but also for the many hardships the city and country currently are currently engulfed in.
