Soprano Sonya Yoncheva adds another major heroine to her impressive list of Met roles, starring as the fearless title priestess of Bellini’s scorching bel canto drama. The extraordinary cast also features tenor Michael Spyres as Norma’s unfaithful Roman lover, mezzo-soprano Ekaterina Gubanova as Norma’s protégé turned rival, and bass-baritone Christian Van Horn as Norma’s warrior father out for blood. Maurizio Benini conducts David McVicar’s fiery production, which played to sold-out audiences when it premiered in 2017.

An Evening with Yo-Yo Ma

Esa-Pekka Salonen returns to conduct Beethoven’s stirring Symphony No. 7 and the US Premiere of his Kínema for solo clarinet and orchestra, played by Principal Clarinet Anthony McGill. In Berio’s reworking of a piece by 18th-century composer Luigi Boccherini, a theme inspired by the nocturnal streets of Madrid is developed over a steady drum ostinato.

Berlioz’s Symphonie fantastique follows the artist-protagonist to a glittering ball, a march to the scaffold, and a demonic witches’ sabbath that dazzles with blazing orchestral colors and effects. Lidholm’s Poesis, a 20th-century classic, explores new worlds of sound with haunting solos and novel uses of instruments. Herbert Blomstedt conducts.

Alisa Weilerstein performs Prokofiev’s Sinfonia concertante, one of the most virtuosic works in the cello repertoire. Nathalie Stutzmann makes her NY Phil conducting debut with Dvořák’s New World Symphony — premiered by the New York Philharmonic in 1893 — and Wagner’s sensuous Tannhäuser Overture.

Nightcap: Esa-Pekka Salonen

Ruth Reinhardt, in her Philharmonic debut, leads the Orchestra in Dvořák’s Symphony No. 5. Kirill Gerstein joins for Thomas Adès’s piano concerto In Seven Days, a musical depiction of the Biblical creation myth, accompanied by film by Tal Rosner. The lively opener, by Polish composer Grażyna Bacewicz, stands in the tradition of rousing concert overtures.

New York City Ballet has always refreshed its classic repertory with new works. This program features the world premiere of a dance by up-and-coming choreographer Keerati Jinakunwiphat, whose distinguished career includes work with many of the modern dance world’s established stars and companies, from Trisha Brown to Doug Varone and Kyle Abraham. Alexei Ratmansky’s Voices foregrounds five female dancers, performing to an experimental score that features recordings made by notable women accompanied by solo piano. And Justin Peck’s endlessly dynamic Everywhere We Go, with its ample cast of 25, has exhilarated audiences since its premiere nearly a decade ago.

21st Century Choreography

This program features four ballets encompassing the depth and variety of the Company's repertory through the years. Balanchine is represented by Allegro Brillante, an ever-exhilarating display of the choreographer’s unmatched mastery and delight in classical technique, and Walpurgisnacht Ballet, another exercise in classical virtuosity set to the famous music from Gounod’s Faust. Robbins’ popular West Side Story Suite is a dramatic distillation of themes and dances from the beloved 1957 musical. Christopher Wheeldon, formerly the Company’s first Resident Choreographer, brings us into the 21st Century with Liturgy, a quietly haunting pas de deux set to music by contemporary composer Arvo Pärt.

Classic NYCB I

A Robbins favorite and a Robbins rarity lead this program. Fancy Free, the first ballet he choreographed, instantly establishing him as a major talent in 1944, has remained a durable classic with its charming comic tale of three sailors on leave happily carousing in New York. By contrast, Rondo, from 1980, is a little-seen ballet made for two female dancers that features a winsome combination of classical steps and folk and popular dance idioms. Also on the bill are Justin Peck’s Solo, which made its premiere in the film directed by Sofia Coppola for the Company’s virtual Spring Gala in 2021, and the entrancing Balanchine leotard ballet Episodes.

Classic NYCB II

After choreographing 22 works for New York City Ballet since 2012, Resident Choreographer Justin Peck creates his first full-evening work for the Company, set to the music of Aaron Copland. Providing designs for this exploration of America today is the painter and sculptor Jeffrey Gibson, who has often drawn on his Choctaw-Cherokee heritage for inspiration.

New Peck

Among the most cherished works in the international repertory, The Sleeping Beauty depicts the bewitching fairy tale through peerless classical choreography. Peter Martins’ version streamlines the ballet into two acts, while providing ample pleasures through both its sleek refinement of Marius Petipa’s celebrated choreography and richly evocative settings that bring the story of love, loss, and rebirth to captivating life.

We hope you will join us for our Annual Luncheon event which has become a highlight of the city’s winter social calendar.

Our winter afternoon offering opens with emerging American composer Ash Stemke’s breezily fetching local premiere followed by two gorgeous Vivaldi concertos, including the rarely performed double which also spotlights Riverside’s longstanding principal cellist. Argentinian master Alberto Ginastera’s gripping, richly virtuosic masterwork concludes the program.

Considered a musical reactionary by some musicians in his time and declared a progressive innovator by Arnold Schönberg, Brahms saw himself as hard-working craftsman and perfectionist.

Renowned as the composer of 16 Hollywood film scores, including The Adventures of Robin Hood and The Sea Hawk, Erich Wolfgang Korngold — a child prodigy coincidentally named after Mozart — was also the composer of operas, concerti, orchestral works, and chamber music. His lush, melodic, and intensely romantic piano quintet, completed in 1921, goes straight to the heart — without Olivia de Haviland or Errol Flynn.

Inside Chamber Music: Korngold’s Piano Quintet in E major

Wagner’s soaring masterpiece makes its triumphant return to the Met stage after 17 years. In a sequel to his revelatory production of Parsifal, director François Girard unveils an atmospheric staging that once again weds his striking visual style and keen dramatic insight to Wagner’s breathtaking music, with Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin on the podium to conduct a supreme cast led by tenor Piotr Beczała in the title role of the mysterious swan knight. Sopranos Tamara Wilson and Elena Stikhina, as the virtuous duchess Elsa, falsely accused of murder, go head-to-head with soprano Christine Goerke as the cunning sorceress Ortrud, who seeks to lay her low. Bass-baritone Evgeny Nikitin is Ortrud’s power-hungry husband, Telramund, and bass Günther Groissböck is King Heinrich.
