 3:00 Opera on Sunday

Metropolitan Opera Season

Twenty-two operas from New York's Metropolitan Opera House

(7) BARBER: Vanessa, an opera in three acts

Archive performance recorded on 1 February 1958

Vanessa is one of several collaborations between Samuel Barber and Gian Carlo Menotti. Menotti describes the dilemma within the opera as “whether to fight for one’s ideals to the point of shutting oneself off from reality, or compromise with what life has to offer, even lying to oneself for the mere sake of living.” Barber’s Vanessa won the 1958 Pulitzer Prize and, in the same year, was produced in Salzburg, the first American opera at the festival, and the first in Salzburg's history to be sung in English
