You can finally see the Met Opera outside NYC: These movie theaters are showing 'Kavalier and Clay' this weekend

Although this work is considered a modern opera, the action in The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay takes place during World War II. Two Jewish cousins work together to create an anti-fascist superhero, the "Escapist." They hope the comic book adventures they write inspire others to fight against Nazism. The three distinct settings where the plot unfolds allow the audience to experience New York City, Prague, and a comic book reality.
