Innocence Tickets: Kaija Saariaho's Final Opera at the Met
Innocence is a five-act opera by the late Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho, presented at the Metropolitan Opera House. Directed by Simon Stone, this is Saariaho's final operatic work and one of the most acclaimed new operas of the 21st century, a raw and unflinching exploration of the aftermath of a school shooting and the trauma that ripples through a community for years.
The Story
At a wedding celebration in Helsinki, the bride Stela discovers that her new husband Tuomas has been hiding a devastating secret: his brother was the perpetrator of a school shooting years earlier. As the wedding festivities continue, the opera interweaves the present-day ceremony with flashbacks to the attack and its aftermath, exploring how violence scars survivors, families, and entire communities. Sofi Oksanen's libretto is sung in multiple languages, reflecting the international student body of the school.
Show Details
Innocence runs April 6-29, 2026, at the Metropolitan Opera House. Runtime is approximately 1 hour 50 minutes with no intermission.
