Metropolitan Opera

L'Amour de Loin is a contemporary opera by Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho, representing a significant work in the modern operatic canon. The work has entered the repertoire of major international houses, with a documented production at the Metropolitan Opera in 2016. As a creation by one of the most prominent living composers of our era, the work merits serious attention within discussions of 21st-century opera, though the Stage Door Society database currently lacks essential documentation about its premiere, librettist, and original language—gaps that suggest this record requires urgent enrichment.
