Jim Henson's Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock Live!

An Ode to Cinema Told through the Art of Burlesque

The Met: Live in HD season continues with Mozart’s satirical comedy of fickle young love. Phelim McDermott’s “colorful, inventive” staging, inspired by Coney Island in the 1950s, sets the uproarious story at a boardwalk amusement park.

Creator of RadioLab, MacArthur Fellow, Vanderbilt University professor, composer, and journalist Jad Abumrad creates “a new aesthetic” in broadcast journalism. His latest work “Words Fail Me” is a meditation on what it feels like to live inside information overload—part personal essay, part sound-and-music performance, and part philosophical detective story.
