Carnegie Corridor’s just-announced 2026–27 vocal season is stacked.
The headliner: a whole Ring in live performance — the primary ever on the Corridor — with Gianandrea Noseda conducting the Orchestra of the Zurich Opera Home, and a solid led by Michael Volle, Camilla Nylund, and Klaus Florian Vogt (bear in mind him?)
We’ll get two Toscas with Gustavo Dudamel and the New York Philharmonic, launching a five-year opera-in-concert partnership; and a recital lineup mixing massive names (Nadine Sierra, Aigul Akhmetshina, Renée Fleming with rising stars (Masabane Cecilia Rangwanasha, Jack Swanson, Huw Montague Rendall).
Michael Spyres and Il Pomo d’Oro convey Baroque fireworks, Jeanine De Bique explores the colonial Caribbean with Apollo’s Hearth, and the English Live performance continues its Handel venture with Alessandro.
Gents, end up your pockets. Women, empty your purses. Full listing under:
