Description

Susan Graham is one of the world's foremost opera and recital stars, a compelling and versatile singing actress. Celebrated as an expert in French music, Ms. Graham has been honored by the French government as a "Commandeur dans l'ordre des Arts et des Lettres". This season, she performs a variety of repertoire in many different countries, beginning with Berlioz in Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina. She performs Mozart and Berlioz at the Metropolitan Opera, Bernstein and Rorem at Carnegie Hall, and Massenet in Munich and Paris. Ms. Graham hosts the fourth annual Opera News Awards in New York, performs at the famed Prague Spring Festival, and closes her season with recitals in Berlin, Copenhagen, London, Vienna, and Brussels. She sings her first Metropolitan Opera performances as Elvira in Mozart's Don Giovanni, and is Marguérite in the Met's debut staging of Berlioz's Damnation de Faust. At Carnegie Hall, she sings "Arias and Barcarolles" in the citywide Leonard Bernstein Festival and later participates in the gala honoring Marilyn Horne's 75th birthday. Berg's Seven Early Songs are on her St. Louis program; Mozart arias are scheduled for Salzburg, and she sings newly-orchestrated songs by Ned Rorem with Orpheus Chamber Orchestra.
