Sting brings his deeply personal musical The Last Ship to the Metropolitan Opera in a newly adapted production featuring new and revised songs, a new book by Barney Norris, and Sting himself in a starring role.

Inspired by Sting’s childhood in a shipbuilding town near Newcastle, The Last Ship is a powerful story of love, loyalty, and a community fighting to hold on to its future as the shipyard that has defined their lives faces closure.

Sting stars as Jackie White, a shipyard foreman whose failing health comes at the very moment his town needs his strength most. Set to a sweeping score of folk, choral anthems, and intimate ballads, the musical captures the grit, heartbreak, and resilience of working people bound together by place, memory, and song.

Featuring moving numbers including “Island of Souls,” “All This Time,” and “When We Dance,” The Last Ship is an unforgettable musical event from one of the world’s most iconic artists.

Don’t miss Sting live on stage in this stirring theatrical journey.
