The Metropolitan Opera has responded to the death of Kaija Saariaho with a pledge to perform her last opera Innocence.

A revival of Simon Stone’s world 2021 premiere production at Aix-en-Provence will be staged in the 2025-26 season.

It comes furnished with this bold claim: ‘Recent decades have seen a blossoming of contemporary opera at the Met as part of General Manager Peter Gelb’s modernization plan.’

Innocence enjoyed huge success at Covent Garden in Stone’s production over the past two months.
