Starting with the 2026–2027 season, Gustavo Dudamel and the New York Philharmonic will partner with Carnegie Hall on a five-year project that will annually bring exciting presentations of opera in concert to Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage. This major initiative— which launches in Dudamel’s inaugural season as the New York Philharmonic’s Music & Artistic Director—kicks off in November 2026 with two performances of Puccini’s Tosca. Dudamel and the orchestra will be joined by a stellar international cast including soprano Marina Rebeka in the opera’s title role, tenor Jonas Kaufmann as Cavaradossi, baritone Ludovic Tézier as Scarpia, plus the New York Philharmonic Chorus. These performances will mark Dudamel’s first appearances at Carnegie Hall leading the New York Philharmonic. The opera titles for each successive year of this project will be announced on an annual basis.
“Bringing together two of New York City’s most legendary institutions—the New York Philharmonic and Carnegie Hall—is a deeply meaningful way to begin my inaugural season as Music and Artistic Director of the NY Phil,” said Gustavo Dudamel, Music & Artistic Director Designate of the New York Philharmonic. “Opera has always been central to my artistic life, and it's a privilege to celebrate the expansive beauty, drama, and humanity of this art form by presenting Tosca with these extraordinary artists and friends.”
“Gustavo and the New York Philharmonic both have remarkable histories at Carnegie Hall, and we are thrilled to enter this next chapter together,” said Clive Gillinson, Executive and Artistic Director at Carnegie Hall. “These annual opera-in-concert presentations will be true highlights of the Hall’s upcoming seasons. We are excited to have developed this ongoing partnership that will so meaningfully enrich New York City’s extraordinary music scene.”
“When Gustavo and I first spoke about the priorities of his tenure as New York Philharmonic Music and Artistic Director, collaborations were a centerpiece,” said Matías Tarnopolsky, President & CEO of the New York Philharmonic. “To be launching this multi-year venture with our friends at Carnegie Hall, featuring the Philharmonic led by Gustavo in this timeless repertoire, with stellar casts, elevates this idea to a new level.”
Dudamel has had a long association with Carnegie Hall that extends nearly 20 years. He made his Carnegie Hall debut in 2007 leading the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela as part of the Hall’s Berlin in Lights festival. He has since returned more than 20 times, appearing with renowned orchestras from around the world, including the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra and Vienna Philharmonic. In August 2024, he conducted a performance by the National Children's Symphony of Venezuela as well as a massive play-in event featuring more than 700 young musicians from around the globe as part of Carnegie Hall’s World Orchestra Week (WOW!) festival. Following in October 2024, he led the Los Angeles Philharmonic in three performances as part of the Nuestros sonidos festival, including Carnegie Hall’s Opening Night Gala.
