Beginning life as a Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, then an Oscar-winning film, The Hours tells the story of three women, separated by time, but connected by Virginia Woolf's book Mrs Dalloway.

Now, the story has its own third life: as an opera.

Presented by New York's Metropolitan Opera, the production was composed by another Pulitzer Prize winner, Kevin Puts, and is now heading to screens as part of their HD Live series.
