It's one of the busiest times of year for tuxedo rental shops, when the opening gala concerts which herald the beginning of the concert season freckle the calendar. If your invitation to the formal party got lost in the mail, not to worry - you can still attend the concert.
New York Philharmonic opening night is September 16 at Avery Fisher Hall. The program features conductor Alan Gilbert with soloists Renee Fleming, Joshua Bell and Josh Groban performing music from classic Italian cinema.
Carnegie Hall brings in the Berlin Philharmonic for its opening night gala on October 1. Simon Rattle conducts, with soloist Anne-Sophie Mutter in a program of music by Bruch, Rachmaninoff and Stravinsky.
And the Met, oh the Met…. Their opening night performance on September 22 is Mozart's "The Marriage of Figaro". If you didn’t buck up for a seat, and aren't one of the lucky ones to score a ticket (free) for a seat at the live screening outside on the plaza at Lincoln Center, you can still enjoy the excitement of the event and the performance at Times Square, where there is a FREE live screening with seats for around 2000. I love going to Times Square to watch the live transmission of the Met's opening night for its crazy juxtaposition of high art and garish neon advertisements. Plus, you have the best vantage to check out the red carpet (via the screening, that is) - last year celeb sighting included basketball star Amar'e Stoudemire, and actors Dana Delany, Patrick Stewart and Brooke Shields.
Even before the big-hall openings, the season gets underway in a lively way early in the month - September 5-7 - with the New York Chamber Music Festival at Symphony Space. Featured performers include soprano Carole Farley, pianists Konstantin Soukhovetski and Pascal Roge, and violinist (and festival founder) Elmira Darvarova. Tickets available at Symphony Space. Across the river in Brooklyn, not to be missed - thought tickets are scarce - is the three-night run featuring composer/performers Steve Reich and Phillip Glass at Brooklyn Academy of Music, September 9-11. The two luminaries of contemporary American music have not shared a stage in over 30 years; these performances will truly be epic. These programs are part of a celebration of Nonesuch Records at BAM, September 9-28. Other concerts in this fest include the Kronos Quartet, Carolina Chocolate Drops, Robert Plant and more. Tickets are available through BAM.
Time to stow your shorts and dust off your concert-going attire…the Season is upon us!
