Digital Premiere—The Ninth Hour: The Beowulf Story | MetLiveArts

Join us for the digital premiere of The Ninth Hour: The Beowulf Story. This performative rock-noir reimagining of the famous epic explores the intricacies of mankind's relationship with power and violence.

Staged in the Fuentidueña Chapel at The Met Cloisters last spring, this is a classic story of glory and ruin—as told through triumphant pop anthems, heart-wrenching lullabies, heroes, and monsters.
