GROWN UP DAD is a half-hour program that explores the generational changes of fatherhood and asks what it means to be a good dad today. Historically, being a dad meant providing financially - putting food on the table and a roof overhead. Yet, this norm feels incomplete. With important societal discussions about toxic masculinity and evolving gender roles, defining good fatherhood has never been more complex. Host Joseph Gidjunis is a dad who grew up seeing fathers as drive-by parents who often missed out on real family time. Wanting to be there more for his son, and with inspiration from the hit Australian animated series Bluey, Joseph sets out on a journey across the United States and Australia to discover what that looks like for him and his family. Along the way, Joseph meets up with experts and other dads for conversations about fatherhood, parenting, work and life balance, and being a role model.

The Met presents a vital new production of one of opera's most enduringly powerful works. Acclaimed English director Carrie Cracknell makes her Met debut, reinvigorating the classic story with a staging that moves the action to the modern day and finds at the heart of the drama issues that could not be more relevant today: gendered violence, abusive labor structures, and the desire to break through societal boundaries.
