Lise Davidsen's recent performance of Puccini's Tosca at the Met reflects a pivotal challenge for opera today, navigating funding, audience engagement, and artistic evolution.
Many companies, including the Met, are still trying to recover from the losses of the pandemic. We are fighting to survive economically.
After 18 years running the Met, it's clear to me that the solution to sustaining opera is through artistic reinvention, with new operas and reimagined productions.
Opera, as an amalgam of performing and visual arts, possesses the unique ability to connect deeply with audiences, revealing the essence of our humanity.
