Authentic Selves: The Beauty Within. Anthony Roth Costanzo Sings Berlioz

The New York Philharmonic writes:

Countertenor Anthony Roth Costanzo, our 2021–22 season Artist-in-Residence, is the soloist in two song cycles: Berlioz’s glorious <em>Les Nuits d’été</em> and the premiere of Gregory Spears’s setting of Tracy K. Smith texts. Jaap van Zweden conducts this examination of identity that opens with music from Beethoven’s opera about a woman who disguises herself as a man to save her husband and closes with an expansive expression of love by 1980s underground icon Julius Eastman.
