Carnegie Hall+

Be the first to see two acclaimed programs from the 2024 Salzburg Festival, including conductor Gustavo Dudamel’s performance in an all–Richard Strauss program featuring An Alpine Symphony and soprano Asmik Grigorian in Four Last Songs, as well as Grigorian in Peter Sellars’s anticipated staging of Prokofiev’s The Gambler set in a fictional German spa town. And don’t miss this summer runaway hit of Weinberg’s The Idiot, adapted from the Dostoevsky novel and staged by cutting-edge director Krzysztof Warlikowski.

Salzburg Festival: Weinberg’s The Idiot
conducted by Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla

Polish-Jewish composer Mieczysław Weinberg’s final opera adapts Dostoevsky’s novel about an innocent prince navigating a corrupt world. Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla leads a heralded Salzburg Festival production of this rediscovered 1980s gem.

Salzburg Festival: Prokofiev’s The Gambler
staged by Peter Sellars

Gustavo Dudamel leads the Vienna Philharmonic in Richard Strauss’s achingly beautiful Four Last Songs with soprano Asmik Grigorian. The program concludes with An Alpine Symphony, Strauss’s powerful evocation of a day in the mountains.

Salzburg Festival: Prokofiev’s The Gambler
staged by Peter Sellars

Peter Sellars stages Prokofiev’s opera based on a Dostoevsky novella. Soprano Asmik Grigorian plays Polina, a general’s stepdaughter caught in a web of emotional intrigue and financial turmoil in Roulettenburg, a fictional German spa town.
