The Metropolitan Opera: Aida Encore
Soprano Angel Blue makes her long-awaited Met role debut as the Ethiopian princess torn between love and country, one of opera’s defining roles. Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin takes the podium for Michael Mayer’s spectacular new staging, which brings audiences inside the towering pyramids and gilded tombs of ancient Egypt with intricate projections and dazzling animations.

Blomstedt Conducts Schubert & Brahms
Conductor Laureate Herbert Blomstedt brings his eloquent exactitude to two treasures of the German symphonic tradition, both indebted to earlier masters. In a diary entry that Schubert wrote around the time he composed his Fifth Symphony, he raved about the 'haunting' influence of Mozart. Brahms worked on his First Symphony for more than 20 years, in fitful bursts, followed by bouts of recrimination and revision. Like Schubert, he fretted obsessively about living up to Beethoven's example.
