Nico Muhly remains one the most active young composers around. Last Tuesday night, fresh off of curating at and performing in his own festival, A Scream and An Outrage, he returned to New York for two shows at Le Poisson Rouge. The night consisted of a broad range of works based loosely based around a preview of his opera, Two Boys, premiering at the Met in October.
The opera premiered at the English National Opera in 2011. With a libretto by celebrated American playwright Craig Lucas, it examines issues associated with the darker corners of the Internet and online chat rooms. The opera is a part of Met general manager Peter Gelb’s larger effort to bring opera to a younger demographic, and the nature of the issues explored drags opera firmly into the 21st century.
