‘Moby-Dick' and ‘Fidelio' Review: Opera Adrift at the Met
New York
If 'operatic' is a synonym for 'big,' Herman Melville's sprawling novel 'Moby-Dick' should be ideal source material for the stage. Jake Heggie's 2010 operatic treatment certainly took up a lot of aural and visual space at its Metropolitan Opera premiere on Monday, but there was an emptiness at its heart.

Met singers' union gets 5% increase partly funded by $5M appropriation from New York state
NEW YORK (AP) — The Metropolitan Opera and the union for its soloists and chorus announced a one-year agreement Friday on a contract. The agreement calls for a 2.5% wage increase plus an additional temporary 2.5% hike that followed the labor group's assistance in securing a $5 million appropriation in New York state's budget. The deal between the Met and the American Guild of Musical Artists starts Aug. 1 and runs through July 31, 2026. It must be ratified by the union. AGMA also represents dancers, full-time actors, stage managers, stage directors and choreographers. The Met said AGMA helped lobby the state government for the appropriation, and the additional 2.5% rise will sunset when the deal expires. Two other major Met union deals expire July 31, with Local 802 of the American Federation of Musicians, which represents the orchestra, and Local One of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, which represents stagehands.

Watch Five Highlights From the Met Opera Season
There were some great shows at the Metropolitan Opera this season. I went three times to a vividly grim new production of Strauss's 'Salome' and to a revival of his sprawling 'Die Frau Ohne Schatten,' and I would have happily returned to either one. But overall the season, which ends on Saturday with a final performance of John Adams's 'Antony and Cleopatra,' had considerably more misses than hits. Lately, the company has given more resources to contemporary work. That's an admirable endeavor — and a risky one, both financially and creatively. This season the Met presented four recent operas, none of them box office home runs or truly satisfying artistically. 'Antony and Cleopatra' had passages of Adams's enigmatic melancholy, but the piece slogged under reams of dense Shakespearean verse. 'Grounded,' by Jeanine Tesori and George Brant, which opened the season in September, starred a potent Emily D'Angelo as a drone operator, but couldn't rise above a thin score. Osvaldo Golijov and David Henry Hwang's 'Ainadamar,' its music raucously eclectic, struggled to make its dreamlike account of Federico García Lorca's death into compelling drama. Best of the bunch was 'Moby-Dick,' by Jake Heggie and Gene Scheer, a bit bland musically but at least clear and convincingly moody. The tenor Brandon Jovanovich's world-weary Ahab, stalking the stage with a belted-on peg leg, has stayed with me. So too has the pairing of a volatile Julia Bullock and Gerald Finley, the embodiment of weathered authority, as Adams's Cleopatra and Antony. Among other strong performances, Ben Bliss and Golda Schultz, the two leads in a revival of a scruffy staging of Mozart's 'Die Zauberflöte,' sang with melting poise. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
