| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)
The Metropolitan Opera and the English National Opera have commissioned an opera from NYC composer Nico Muhly, who's performing at Big Ears in March. It's quite an accomplishment for the 28-year-old Muhly. The opera, with a libretto by Craig Lucas and based on the real-life story of a teenager who tried to arrange his own murder on the Internet, is scheduled to debut in London in 2011 and premier at the Met during the 2013-14 season.

The New York Times has more.
