When Australian composer Brett Dean’s Hamlet had its world premiere at the Glyndebourne Festival in 2017, The Guardian declared, “New opera doesn’t often get to sound this good … Shakespeare offers a gauntlet to composers that shouldn’t always be picked up, but Dean’s Hamlet rises to the challenge.” On June 4, this riveting contemporary masterpiece appears live in cinemas, with Neil Armfield, who directed the work’s premiere, bringing his acclaimed staging to the Met stage. Many of the original cast members have followed, including tenor Allan Clayton in the title role. Nicholas Carter makes his Met debut conducting a remarkable ensemble, which also features soprano Brenda Rae as Ophelia, mezzo-soprano Sarah Connolly as Gertrude, baritone Rod Gilfry as Claudius, and legendary bass John Tomlinson as the ghost of Hamlet’s father. This live cinema transmission is part of the Met’s award-winning Live in HD series, bringing opera to movie theaters across the globe.

Composers throughout history have looked to the works of Shakespeare for inspiration—from 19th-century Romantics like Bellini, Verdi, and Gounod to the modern masters Britten, Barber, Bernstein, and Thomas Adès. This musical tradition continued with the world premiere of Brett Dean’s Hamlet at the Glyndebourne Festival in 2017. And during the 2021–22 season, the shattering adaptation of the Bard’s immortal tragedy made its way stateside when it took the Met stage in a powerful production by Neil Armfield. In this performance, recorded as part of the company’s Live in HD series, tenor Allan Clayton, who originated the title role in the work’s premiere, reprises his tour-de-force portrayal, headlining a cast that also features soprano Brenda Rae as Ophelia, mezzo-soprano Sarah Connolly as Gertrude, tenor David Butt Philip as Laertes, baritone Rod Gilfry as Claudius, and bass-baritone John Relyea as the Ghost of King Hamlet. Maestro Nicholas Carter takes the podium to conduct Dean’s explosive score.
