Performer: Kenneth Tarver

In her final Carnegie Hall appearance as principal guest conductor of the Philadelphia Orchestra, the French conductor leads Schumann’s Fourth Symphony and Mozart’s Requiem. 

In her first appearance with the orchestra this season, Nathalie Stutzmann offers overly tentative readings of Verklärte Nacht and Siegfried Idyll, alongside perfunctory excerpts from Don Giovanni.

Zurich Opera stages Tatjana Gürbaca’s production of Mozart’s La finta giardiniera. True to the opera buffa genre, it teems with silliness.
