Review: Exquisite THE HOURS by Puts Triumphs Again at the Met under Watanabe

When I first heard Kevin Puts’s gorgeous, melodic score for THE HOURS back in 2022, I was blown away, thinking it was almost too good to be true. Could it be a classic?

It reminded me that first impressions are sometimes on the mark.
