Works & Process will host a discussion and performance highlights featuring the Metropolitan Opera’s upcoming production of Lincoln in the Bardo on Monday, Oct. 5, 2026. The event takes place at 7 p.m. at the Peter B. Lewis Theater, located at 1071 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.
Metropolitan Opera general manager Peter Gelb will moderate a panel conversation ahead of the opera’s world premiere. Panelists include composer Missy Mazzoli and librettist Royce Vavrek, alongside members of the production’s creative team.
The opera is adapted from George Saunders’s Booker Prize–winning novel of the same name. The narrative follows Willie Lincoln, Abraham Lincoln’s late 11-year-old son, as he navigates the transitional realm known as the bardo between life and the next existence.
Members of the cast will perform selected highlights from the score during the program. The discussion will cover the adaptation process and the staging of the story for the Metropolitan Opera platform.
Tickets for the presentation start at $15 and are available for purchase online. Works & Process receives support from public agency funds, including the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs and the New York State Council on the Arts, alongside private foundations and donors.
