In November the Library and the Metropolitan Opera both open major shows inspired by Virginia Woolf. Dive deep into the exhibition and the opera in one extraordinary evening of readings, performance, and conversation. For event details, speaker bios, and more, visit www.nypl.org/e...
The New York Public Library’s Virginia Woolf: a Modern Mind provides an intimate view of the boundary-pushing author’s life and creative process through materials drawn entirely from the Library’s holdings, which houses one of the most important collections of her writings in the world. At the Metropolitan Opera, The Hours adapts Michael Cunningham’s novel and the film of the same name for a world-premiere production written by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Kevin Puts. Come to the Library to explore both shows-and maybe get a little preview of each!
