For your GRAMMY consideration: The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay ⚡

The GRAMMY Awards® voting period is now open. Recorded live at the Met, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay broke box office records, earned an unprecedented mid-season revival, and drew first-time and younger audiences to the Met in remarkable numbers.

Based on Michael Chabon’s Pulitzer Prize–winning novel, the opera follows two Jewish cousins who create a comic-book series, hoping to recruit America into the fight against tyranny.

A moment I’ll treasure: meeting President Alexander Stubb of Finland during United Nations General Assembly week in New York. 🇫🇮

I had the honor of singing at the Atlantic Council’s Global Citizen Awards, which celebrated President Stubb (@alexstubb) alongside Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese (@albomp), Formula 1 President and CEO Stefano Domenicali (@stefanodomenicaliofficial), and the legendary Cynthia Erivo (@cynthiaerivo).

President Stubb was being recognized for his leadership in advancing European unity, strengthening Finland’s role in NATO, and showing a steadfast commitment to democratic values.

The previous day, President Stubb addressed the UN General Assembly. Speaking about the need for international cooperation, he said: “Small nations need it to survive. Large nations need it to stay great.”

At the awards ceremony, he reflected on the possibility that we’re living through a turning point like 1918, 1945, or 1989—a moment when the world order is changing and our choices will shape what comes next. He asked everyone in the room to consider what we can do to bring the world toward cooperation, including those of us in the arts.

As a Finnish-American artist, I felt especially proud to be invited to salute the President. His challenge to each of us—to find our own part in building a more cooperative world—has stayed with me. And yes, I’m a very big fan. 🤩🇫🇮

Pow, Bam, Boom! 💥 Out NOW: The Escapist interlude from The Met’s The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay.

This ‘symphonic electronica’ brings us from the artists’ studio where they conceived the superhero, to a high-octane depiction of The Escapist in action.

Huge thanks to The Metropolitan Opera orchestra and Yannick Nezet-Seguin for bringing this to life so vividly.

Full release of the whole opera this Friday, Aug 14!

I know, I know not to read reviews… and I usually don’t! But I was floored by this one. 🥹 A perfect cap to a Ravinia week I won’t forget – a marvelous cast, lots of friends in the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, and, of course, singing Mozart with Maestro Conlon. Thank you, Chicago!!! 🤩🥰😁
