The Boston Symphony Orchestra has announced two January 2024 performances at New York City’s Carnegie Hall, providing a first look at the orchestra’s 2023-24 season.
The next day, January 30, Nelsons is scheduled to lead a complete concert performance of Shostakovich’s opera “Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk,” a much-anticipated landmark in Nelsons’ exploration of Shostakovich’s orchestral work with the BSO.
Before the pandemic, the orchestra was planning performances of the opera for the 2020-21 season at Carnegie Hall and Symphony Hall. Several members of the originally announced cast have been engaged for the upcoming season’s performances, including soprano Kristine Opolais in the title role as the scheming Katerina Izmailova, and tenor Sergei Skorokhodov as her hapless husband, Zinovy Izmailov.
Complete details of the 2023-24 Symphony Hall season are scheduled to be released on April 13.
