A week after announcing a future overhaul to its season, the Metropolitan Opera has made more announcements revealing the company’s continued change in direction. The latest news? The company is set to commission new operas that it will look to feature in spaces outside of Lincoln Center.

Per the New York Times, for the first time in its history, the company will commission operas by women, adapting novels like “Lincoln in the Bardo,” which will be written by Missy Mazzoli for the main stage and is also prepared to stage Jeanine Tesori’s “Grounded.” Additionally, the company has asked Mason Bates to write a work based on and “The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay.” Moreover, the company is seeking to perform on of Mazzoli’s chamber works at the Brooklyn Academy of Music with Nézet-Séguin conducting.

But the news doesn’t end there. In 2020, the company is headed to the Delacorte Theater at Central Park to work with the Public Theater for a production of “The Magic Flute” which will also feature the French-Canadian music director.

There will also be continued collaborations between the Philadelphia Orchestra and the Met as well as the mounting of operas that the company has never seen, including the French version of “Don Carlos,” “Agrippina,” “The Fiery Angel,” “Medea,” Alcina,” and a new work by Matthew Aucoin, “Eurydice.”

“This is a very strong message that I want to send: about how opera is actually for everyone. It’s an illusion to think that everyone will love it. But it’s not an illusion to try to make everyone feel welcome to it,” said new music director Yannick Nézet-Séguin.

This comes on the heels of the Met announcing that it will start showcasing Sunday performances and even take a break in during February in the future.
