Video: Listen to "That's Mommy Up There" from The Met Opera's Grounded

 

Two-time Tony Award–winning composer Jeanine Tesori’s powerful new opera Grounded, commissioned by the Met and based on librettist George Brant’s acclaimed play, has its awaited company premiere. Mezzo-soprano Emily D’Angelo, one of opera’s most compelling young stars, headlines in the tour-de-force role of Jess, a hot-shot fighter pilot whose unplanned pregnancy takes her out of the cockpit and lands her in Las Vegas, operating a Reaper drone halfway around the world. As she adjusts to this new way of doing battle, she struggles under the pressure to be the perfect soldier, the perfect wife, and the perfect mother all at the same time. In this video, watch Emily D’Angelo, Ben Bliss, and Lucy LoBue, as Jess, Eric, and Sam, sing an excerpt from Act I in an early stage rehearsal.
