Metropolitan Opera

Brett Dean's *Hamlet* is a contemporary opera adaptation of Shakespeare's tragedy, composed by the Australian-British composer known for his sophisticated orchestral and operatic works. The work represents Dean's engagement with canonical dramatic literature through the operatic medium. With a confirmed Metropolitan Opera production in 2022, the work has entered the major opera house repertoire, though its broader performance trajectory and critical reception remain incompletely documented in the current database. The absence of premiere information and detailed production records suggests this entry requires significant enrichment to establish the work's full performance history and standing.
