The
season also will feature the venue’s first complete performance
of Wagner’s Ring Cycle.
Fleming and Fleck will present an evening of Appalachian folk
music on Dec. 3, Carnegie announced Thursday. Plans for the
program began in 2025, before they withdrew last month from
Kennedy Center appearances.
Fleming and Fleck also are scheduled to perform the program this
May 23 at the Spoleto Festival in Charleston, South Carolina,
and are discussing other possible cities.
Gianandrea Noseda, whose National Symphony appears displaced by
Trump abruptly shuttering the Kennedy Center for a two-year
reconstruction, will lead the Zurich Opera orchestra in concert
performances of the four-opera “Der Ring des Nibelungen (The
Ring of the Nibelung)” from March 18-23. The only previous Ring
operas presented in their entirety at Carnegie have been “Das
Rheingold” and “Die Walküre”
“It’s fantastic that with this project we will do something
historically important,” Noseda said. ”Of course you miss the
visual aspect but you can get probably more precise musical
performances because everybody’s focused without movements,
without costumes, without lighting.”
Noseda conducted staged Rings in 2024 at the Zurich Opera. He is
music director there as well as with the NSO, which is searching
for a space to play while the Kennedy Center is closed.
“We are working on it,” he said.
Glass’ Symphony No 15 “Lincoln” will be played by the Orchestra
of St. Luke’s on Jan. 31. Commissioned by the National Symphony
Orchestra, it had been scheduled for its world premiere at the
Kennedy Center on June 12 before Glass withdrew it last month,
writing “the values of the Kennedy Center today are in direct
conflict with the message of the symphony.”
Carnegie Hall said the work will premiere elsewhere before the
New York performance.
Carnegie’s season opens Oct. 8 with the Berlin Philharmonic, led
by chief conductor Kirill Petrenko in a program featuring tenor
Jonas Kaufmann.
Yannick Nézet-Séguin will conduct all nine of Mahler’s completed
symphonies with the Vienna Philharmonic, the Philadelphia
Orchestra and the Metropolitan Opera orchestra. No. 8, known as
"Symphony of a Thousand” will be performed three times from June
10-12, 2027, with a chorus of 350 and orchestra of 126, taking
place at the Met rather than Carnegie.
