Experience the legendary dramatic prowess of The Met Orchestra in the historic splendor of Carnegie Hall. In the first of three performances this season, Yannick Nézet-Séguin and the orchestra are joined by soprano Lise Davidsen, who debuted at the Met Opera in 2019 in the lead role of The Queen of Spades. The concert begins with Webern’s reimagining of J. S. Bach’s six-part fugue, followed by Wesendonck Lieder, which include some of Wagner’s most popular non-operatic songs. The second half of the concert comprises Gustav Mahler’s Fifth Symphony, a work close to Nézet-Séguin. “What is orchestral music? Here’s the example … it’s a symphony that has everything,” he recently told WRTI.
