The Metropolitan Opera: Dead Man Walking
American composer Jake Heggieâs compelling masterpiece, the most widely performed new opera of the last 20 years, arrives in cinemas in a haunting new production by Ivo van Hove. Based on Sister Helen Prejeanâs memoir about her fight for the soul of a condemned murderer, Dead Man Walking matches the high drama of its subject with Heggieâs beautiful and poignant music and a brilliant libretto by Tony and Emmy Awardâwinner Terrence McNally. Met Music Director Yannick NĂ©zet-SĂ©guin takes the podium, with mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato starring as Sister Helen. The outstanding cast also features bass-baritone Ryan McKinny as the death-row inmate Joseph De Rocher, soprano Latonia Moore as Sister Rose, and legendary mezzo-soprano Susan Grahamâwho sang Helen Prejean in the operaâs 2000 premiereâas De Rocherâs mother.
