Marnie (Nico Muhly/Libretto Nicholas Wright)

Nico Muhly’s Marnie, based on Winston Graham’s novel, which in turn inspired Alfred
Hitchock’s suspenseful thriller, has its U.S. premiere at the Met this season. Isabel Leonard
stars in the title role opposite Christopher Maltman as her blackmailing husband Mark
Rutland, Iestyn Davies as his brother Terry, Janis Kelly as Mrs. Rutland, and acclaimed
mezzo-soprano Denyce Graves as Marnie’s mother. Robert Spano makes his company
debut conducting.
Marnie is a co-commission and co-production with English National Opera, where the
production premiered in 2017.
