Grinnell College will stream Kevin Puts' “The Hours” on December 10 as part of the Met’s 2022-23 Live in HD season. Renée Fleming makes her highly anticipated return to the Met in the world-premiere production of Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Kevin Puts’ “The Hours,” adapted from Michael Cunningham’s acclaimed novel.

The exciting premiere radiates with star power with Kelli O’Hara and Joyce DiDonato joining Fleming as the opera’s trio of heroines.
