Carnegie Hall: 2009 is the year of the multimedia opera

Friday, January 02, 2009

It’s a New Year and we’re taking a look back--and a look forward--at a venue at the center of American Music: Carnegie Hall. If 2008 was the year of the symphony at Carnegie, then 2009 is the year of the multimedia hybrid opera. Joining us to explain what that means is WNYC Music Host Terrance McKnight.

Here's the music you heard in this segment:

•Composer John Adams' "Son of a Chamber Symphony"
•Soprano Jessye Norman sings "Ave Maria"
•Composer Laura Karpman's "Not Forgotten."
•The Roots

Guests:

Terrance McKnight

It depends upon the concert. I will gladly pay as much as $50 per ticket if it is a worthwhile show, but the ones that I do not recognize need to be cheap.

In this economy, how much are you willing to pay for tickets?
