Puccini’s exhilarating drama of the Wild West returns in a new staging by celebrated British director Richard Jones, marking the company’s first new production of La Fanciulla del West in more than 30 years. Soprano Vida Miknevičiūtė adds to her already remarkable Met repertoire, making her role debut as Minnie, the tough tavern owner with a heart of gold who finds love when she least expects it. Tenor SeokJong Baek is the dashing bandit who rambles into the remote California mining town to steal her heart, opposite baritone Christopher Maltman as the lawman determined to deliver rough justice—and win Minnie for himself. Maestro Keri-Lynn Wilson takes the podium to conduct one of opera’s most action-packed adventures.

With this extraordinary program, the internationally celebrated performer Yael Rasooly, known for her magnetic stage presence, powerful vocals, and virtuoso puppetry, makes her CEWM debut, masterfully weaving together the bold, satirical songs of the Weimar era and Edith Piaf’s Paris. In moving tributes to legendary artists Piaf and Marlene Dietrich, singer-actress-director Rasooly and pianist Daniel Rein evoke the richly decadent world of 1920s-30s Berlin and Paris through their distinctive, theatrical approach to a varied repertoire of Berlin cabaret songs (think Kurt Weill!) and poetic French chansons. The program intertwines music and visual storytelling as Rasooly channels these legendary women of song through mime, elaborate costumes, and specially created life-size puppets, transporting us to a bygone era while illuminating timeless themes. Her storytelling combines a unique perspective of song, humor and puppetry that audiences will not soon forget.

Sean Mason stands as one of the most compelling and visionary artists to emerge from the jazz tradition in the 21st century—a jazz pianist and composer whose impact extends far beyond the bandstand. A Grammy Award nominee, Bessie Award winner, and Bistro Award recipient, Mason has distinguished himself not merely as a leading voice within the music, but as a cultural architect reshaping the genre’s relationship with style, movement, and artistic identity.

His artistry is defined by a rare duality: a deep knowledge of the jazz tradition and a philosophical commitment to the music as a human practice. Mason is drawn to the way jazz holds opposites in suspension—discipline and freedom, individuality and communion, thought and instinct—without forcing them into resolution. As Mason notes, “The beauty of the music is that it can hold contradiction without breaking. It can be refined and raw, structured and open, intimate and vast.” For Mason, jazz is not an act of presentation, but a condition of discovery, one in which meaning is formed in real time, and where musicians and listeners arrive together at something more truthful than either could have produced alone.
From his roots in Charlotte, North Carolina to the world stage, Mason’s trajectory reflects a steady and self-defined evolution. Shaped by formative experiences at Juilliard and within the lineage of the Marsalis tradition, he has developed a voice that is distinctly his own. Today, his impact is measured not only by his technical command, but by the way his influence shapes a new generation, one that reflects his sensibility in how they hear, move, and inhabit the music.
Mason’s recorded work traces a clear and deliberate artistic evolution. His debut, The Southern Suite, introduced a voice marked by depth and clarity, praised for its “spirit of celebration” and recognized as “a powerful introduction to Mason’s artistry and vision.” From the outset, critics noted both his maturity and individuality, describing the work as “forward-looking music” and “a bold statement of purpose from a generational talent.” That trajectory has only deepened. With A Breath of Fresh Air, Mason arrives fully in his own language: a work widely described as “a sweeping statement of renewal,” “deeply rooted in tradition and effortlessly self-authentic,” and “a bold new chapter in Mason’s artistic evolution.” Now widely regarded as “a leading pianist of his generation” and “a singular artistic voice,” Mason’s work stands as both a continuation and a redefinition of the art form.

“One of the most unique and enduring bands in alternative rock” —All Music
“Margo Timmins’s voice is as melancholy and enchanting as ever” —The New York Times
“There’s something that is nearly miraculous about the way Margo Timmins’ beautiful voice fits with those pained lyrics written by her brother Michael Timmins…the result is some truly transformative music.” —The Mercury News
Cowboy Junkies will be performing a career-spanning show from The Trinity Session to their recent album, Such Ferocious Beauty!
Sometimes revolutions begin quietly.
In 1988, Cowboy Junkies proved that there was an audience waiting for something quiet, beautiful and reflective. The Trinity Session was like a whisper that cut through the noise — and it was compelling. It stood out in the midst of the flash and bombast that came to define the late 80’s. The now classic recording combined folk, blues and rock in a way that had never been heard before and went on to sell more than a million copies.
Formed in Toronto in 1985 with siblings Michael Timmins on guitar, Margo Timmins on vocals, Peter Timmins on drums, and Michael’s lifelong friend Alan Anton on bass, the band has sparkled over the course of 29 albums. “I’ve known Alan longer than I’ve known Pete,” says Michael. “We were friends before Pete was born.
Unlike most long-lasting groups, Cowboy Junkies have never had a break up or taken a sanity-saving hiatus. There’s an appreciation of each other that keeps them constantly working. “It’s that intimacy and understanding of what each one of us brings to the table,” says Michael.

Samantha Bee wants to talk about menopause. She actually doesn’t want to, but she must. In How To Survive Menopause, Bee comically shares everything she has learned through the process in an intimate one-woman show, because everyone needs that best friend who will keep it real for them. Like, really real. This is a show for anyone who is going through it, has gone through it, will be going through it, or knows someone currently going through it…basically the entire population.
About Samantha Bee:
Samantha Bee has quickly established herself as having one of the most unique and sharp comedic voices on television.
Born and raised in Toronto, Canada, Bee began her career performing as a member of the all-female sketch comedy troupe The Atomic Fireballs.
In 2003, Bee joined Comedy Central’s The Daily Show‘s “Best F#@king News Team.” Bee departed The Daily Show in 2015 and currently holds the title for being the longest-serving regular Daily Show correspondent of all time (12 years).
In 2016, Bee received global recognition from the success of her very own weekly late-night comedy series, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, which premiered in 2016 and ran for seven seasons on TBS. Full Frontal offered a unique satirical take on weekly news and explores other important stories in-depth that have been largely overlooked by more traditional media outlets. Full Frontal received rave reviews, and the show was picked up by TBS for a full season within weeks of its premiere. In a landscape of male late-night talk show hosts, critics have appreciated Bee’s “fiery and fierce” delivery (The New York Times) and have embraced Full Frontal as a “daring, innovative addition to the late-night slate” (Entertainment Weekly).
Bee is the author of the essay collection I Know I Am, But What Are You? and has been featured in TIME 100: The Most Influential People. She is also the host of ‘Full Release,’ a podcast featuring in-depth conversations with the best and rightest of people about how to navigate the ever-changing world and what to laugh about along the way.
Bee and her husband Jason Jones also co-created the half-hour comedy series, The Detour, which ran for four seasons on TBS. The Detour, which stars Jones, was inspired by their personal experiences on family getaways. The show follows Nate (Jones), Robin (Natalie Zea) and their two kids, Delilah and Jared, for what Nate believes will be the adventure of a lifetime on a road trip to Florida, which quickly turns into a disaster.
In 2018, Bee announced her new production company, Swimsuit Competition, co-founded with “Full Frontal” producer Kristen Everman. Swimsuit Competition aims to create inclusive, narrative and documentary television and will develop content for TBS.

“Peter and the Wolf” and “Rhapsody in Blue”; in opera it’s a near-protagonist in “The Magic Flute,” “La Traviata” and “The Barber of Seville” as composers delineate atmosphere and character motifs. It can sing and it can swing. We are referring of course to the clarinet, which stars in a program that features Bartók’s “Contrasts,” written for clarinet legend Benny Goodman and violinist Joseph Szigeti (with Bartók himself playing the piano at the world premiere!); Beethoven’s Trio in B-flat major, opus 11; Mozart’s Clarinet Quintet, and some down-home Gershwin. The program abounds in Hungarian country fiddling and dance melodies, rich folk fare and jazz, as well as clarinet and violin pyrotechnics. The remarkable clarinetist Alexander Fiterstein will leave us all breathless! He is joined by pianist Michael Chertock, violinist Xiao-Dong Wang and cellist and artistic director Yehuda Hanani.

In addition to 13 Wilco albums, he has released five solo albums – most recently, his 30-track “magnum opus” (The New York Times) Twilight Override. A rare chance to experience songs from across his expansive catalog and step inside the world of Twilight Override.
Opening Act: Case Oats
Twilight Override Bio by Jeff Tweedy
When you align yourself with creativity and creation, you align yourself with something that other people call God. And if you align yourself with creation, you have automatically taken a side against destruction. You’re on the side of creation. And that does a lot to quell the impulse to destroy.
Is the world getting darker? Sure feels like it. What is it? Is it the pervasive nagging toothache of dread that comes with witnessing the disintegration of a country that you thought you knew and understood? A home you still love with a love that could never be taken away, regardless of how painful that love has become. That sense of decline is hard to ignore, and it must at least be a part of the shroud I’m trying to uncover. The twilight of an empire seems like a good enough jumping-off point when one is jumping into the abyss.
Twilight sure is a pretty word, though. And the world is filled with former empires, so maybe that’s not where this dissonance is coming from entirely. Could be how old I’ve managed to become without warning. My own personal Twilight. What ever it is out there (or in there) squeezing this ennui into my day, it’s fucking overwhelming. It’s difficult to just ignore. Twilight Override is my effort to overwhelm it right back. Here are the songs and sounds and voices and guitars and words that are an effort to let go of some of the heaviness and up the wattage on my own light. My effort to engulf this encroaching nighttime (nightmare) of the soul.
What I really want to do is grow my heart big enough to love everyone. And if I want a heart to grow big enough to meet this moment, it requires something expansive. “Like a TRIPLE record!?”, you ask? Yes! Like a goddamn triple record! I mean…What else do I have but my songs and my family and my friends? What else do any of us have to keep the lights on? How else can I generate my own light? To me any song, no matter what the subject matter, can be a point of light and that’s one of the reasons I try and make so many of them. They all have the potential, even the heaviest music on the Earth has the potential, to lift someone up. This sounds like a Hallmark card, but it rocks harder than a Hallmark card.
I’m aware the day ends and the sun sets no matter how hard we wish for it to lift itself back out of the ocean. So I guess what we’re really talking about is time. In a way these three records represent the past, present and future. The darkness comes and goes. But the clock keeps plowing ahead. We all want more. But not more of this particular shitty time. It feels like the clock is camped out at the worst part of the day. Everyone stuck saying goodbye to the future they woke up to. Waiting for it to get dark enough to dream up a new day.
Truthfully, I’ve been doing this for a long time. And I’m not going anywhere. This is the stuff that works for me. I can’t sing and be afraid at the same time. And dreaming at twilight isn’t forbidden. Not quite a daydream and nowhere near a nightmare. Twilight dreaming is a lovely workaround. Killing time with key changes and harmonies. Feel free to join us all here. Not singing into the void or at the void. Just singing. Feeling good. Together. It will do you no harm. Sharing this music with the world is the best I can do.

Acclaimed singer songwriter, piano virtuoso and multi-instrumentalist A.J. Croce is once again taking his celebrated Croce Plays Croce tour across the country, bringing audiences an unforgettable evening of music that bridges generations and celebrates the enduring power of song.
From his earliest performances as a teenager, to his critically acclaimed albums and world tours, A.J. Croce has forged a remarkable career entirely on his own terms. Over the course of three and a half decades and eleven studio albums, he has become known as an acclaimed songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and electrifying performer, with more than twenty songs reaching Billboard’s Top 40 charts across multiple genres. Celebrated for his ability to bridge styles and eras with effortless grace, Croce moves fluidly through American roots, rock n’ roll, blues, jazz, soul, and world music, creating a sound that is as distinctive as it is timeless.
Throughout his remarkable career, A.J. has shared the stage with an extraordinary list of musical icons — including Ray Charles, B.B. King, James Brown, Willie Nelson, Lyle Lovett, and Rod Stewart — each collaboration adding another layer to his deep and diverse musical story.
Son of the legendary singer songwriter, Jim Croce, A.J. purposefully waited thirty years to perform his father’s music, only introducing his acclaimed Croce Plays Croce tour when he felt there was a meaningful way to honor his musical legacy with depth, intention, and musical integrity. Croce Plays Croce showcases that legacy in a way that few concerts can. The show features a moving and energetic blend of Jim Croce’s legendary songs — such as “Operator”, “You Don’t Mess Around with Jim,” “Bad Bad Leroy Brown” and “Time in a Bottle” — alongside A.J.’s own acclaimed originals. Through stories, humor, and remarkable musicianship, A.J. connects audiences to both his father’s iconic body of work and his own evolution as one of today’s most respected artists.

Two of opera’s most extraordinary artists return to The Met: Live in HD for Verdi’s thrilling take on the immortal Shakespearean tale of the scheming couple determined to seize power at any cost. Following past triumphs in many of Verdi’s signature baritone roles, Quinn Kelsey is the Scottish king haunted by the ghosts of his murderous ascent to the throne, opposite Lise Davidsen—the world’s reigning dramatic soprano—as the power-mad Lady Macbeth, whose ruinous ambition damns them both. Met Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin takes the podium for a penetrating production by Louisa Proske, a brilliant young director making waves around the world. Rounding out the all-star cast are tenor Freddie De Tommaso as the heroic Macduff and bass-baritone Ryan Speedo Green as Macbeth’s friend-turned-victim Banquo.

Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter and guitarist Raul Midón has built a genre-defying career that blends soul, jazz, Latin rhythms, and acoustic virtuosity into a sound entirely his own. Blind since birth, Midón has often been described as a “one-man band”—turning his guitar into an orchestra and his voice into a chorus (The New York Times). His artistry has earned praise from icons such as Quincy Jones (“his music makes you smile”), Elton John (who called State of Mind a “soul classic”), and Bill Withers, who championed his music.
Midón first captivated audiences worldwide with his breakthrough album State of Mind, produced by the legendary Arif Mardin. Now celebrating its 20th anniversary, the album remains a touchstone of modern soul and jazz. Over the years, he has collaborated with a remarkable range of artists, from Herbie Hancock, Stevie Wonder, and Marcus Miller to Snoop Dogg and Roberta Flack. He has performed with orchestras, at jazz festivals across the globe, and even appeared on The Jennifer Hudson Show to debut new work.
A true eclectic adventurist (People), Midón continues to push boundaries. His latest album, Lost & Found (2024), released on his own ReKondite ReKords label, showcases his evolution as a storyteller and composer while reaffirming the joyful, borderless spirit that defines his music. Whether onstage with only his guitar or accompanied by full orchestra, Raul Midón embodies what The Guardian once called a “totally musical mind at work.”

This screening is an encore per Mahaiwe scheduling.
The Met: Live in HD season kicks off with Mozart’s satirical comedy of fickle young love, one of the composer’s most sublime creations. Phelim McDermott’s “colorful, inventive” (The New York Times) staging, inspired by Coney Island in the 1950s, sets the uproarious story at a boardwalk amusement park, where the two pairs of lovers at the heart of the tale find themselves on one emotional—and literal—thrill ride after another. Soprano Federica Lombardi and mezzo soprano Samantha Hankey sing Fiordiligi and Dorabella, opposite tenor Duke Kim and baritone Andrey Zhilikhovsky as Ferrando and Guglielmo. Bass-baritone Gerald Finley reprises his portrayal of the cynical Don Alfonso, with soprano Ana María Martínez as the witty maid Despina.

Nicole Zuraitis is a two-time Grammy-winning and six-time Grammy-nominated jazz singer-songwriter, producer, pianist, arranger, New York-based bandleader and winner of the prestigious American Traditions Vocal Competition Gold Medal.

As a recording artist, Nicole has released seven albums as leader, and her sixth album, How Love Begins, co-produced with eight-time Grammy winner Christian McBride, won Best Jazz Vocal Album at the 2024 Grammy Awards and features all original music.

César Orozco & SonAhead

In conjunction with Festival Latino of the Berkshires
SonAhead is the latest project of Cuban-Venezuelan pianist, vocalist, composer, arranger, violinist, and educator Cesar Orozco, who is also a 2025 Latin Grammy winner for Best Arrangement. In addition to his work on piano, arrangements, and compositions, Orozco takes center stage as the lead vocalist, marking an exciting new chapter in his career.

The name SonAhead speaks to its essence: a fusion of Cuban son—a foundational genre for what we now recognize as salsa—infused with elements of modern jazz, electronic music, and Cuban timba, a vibrant style that emerged in the 1990s which has deeply influenced Orozco since his teenage years. Listeners will find echoes of legendary timba groups like NG La Banda, El Médico de la Salsa, and Isaac Delgado woven throughout the music of SonAhead.

While stepping into the role of lead vocalist may seem novel to those who have followed Orozco’s career as a pianist over the past two decades, it’s not his first foray into this territory. During his studies at the National School of Arts (ENA) in Cuba, he formed his own band, serving as bandleader, arranger, composer, and vocalist.

En colaboración con el Festival Latino de los Berkshires
SonAhead es el último proyecto del pianista, vocalista, compositor, arreglista, violinista y educador cubano-venezolano César Orozco, quien también es ganador del Latin Grammy 2025 al Mejor Arreglo. Además de su trabajo en piano, arreglos y composiciones, Orozco ocupa el rol protagónico de vocalista principal, marcando un nuevo y emocionante capítulo en su carrera. El nombre SonAhead habla de su esencia: una fusión de son cubano—un género fundamental de lo que hoy reconocemos como salsa—impregnada con elementos de jazz moderno, música electrónica y timba cubana, un estilo vibrante que surgió en los años 90 y que ha influido profundamente en Orozco desde su adolescencia. Los oyentes encontrarán ecos de legendarios grupos de timba como NG La Banda, El Médico de la Salsa e Isaac Delgado entretejidos en la música de SonAhead. Aunque asumir el papel de vocalista principal pueda parecer novedoso para quienes han seguido la carrera de Orozco como pianista durante las dos últimas décadas, no es su primera incursión en este terreno. Durante sus estudios en la Escuela Nacional de Artes (ENA) de Cuba, formó su propia banda, desempeñándose como director de banda, arreglista, compositor y vocalista.

For Los Lonely Boys—brothers Henry, Jojo, and Ringo Garza—family has always been at the heart of their music. After years of touring, the trio took a break in 2019 to focus on their families, returning to the road in 2022 reinvigorated and even opening for The Who.
Hailing from San Angelo, Texas, the Garzas created their own bluesy “Texican rock & roll” sound and turned it into a global sensation. Their breakthrough came when Willie Nelson’s nephew discovered their demo; Willie soon booked them for Farm Aid and recorded with them at his studio. Their 2003 debut album, Los Lonely Boys, re-released by Epic, featured the No. 1 hit “Heaven,” which earned them a Grammy and spent 76 weeks on the Billboard Top 200, selling over two million copies.

They’ve collaborated with legends like Carlos Santana and Willie Nelson, played iconic venues, and supported global causes. Their journey, chronicled in the documentary Cottonfields and Crossroads, has seen both triumph and hardship—most notably Henry’s serious stage accident in 2013, which led the band to refocus on what matters most: family and music.
Now back in stride, Los Lonely Boys continue to write, record, and tour with renewed passion. Their 2024 release, Resurrection (BMG), blends their signature Texican rock & roll with elements of soul and roots music, earning critical acclaim and energizing live audiences. More than two decades after their debut, they remain a vital force in music, proving their story is still unfolding.
