The Met Orchestra Plays Mahler
Mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato joins Yannick Nézet-Séguin and The Met Orchestra for a program centered on Gustav Mahler. The performance features Mahler's Symphony No. 4, known for its themes of nature and innocence, alongside his contemplative Rückert-Lieder. The concert opens with Kaija Saariaho’s Lumière et pesanteur, a work adapted from her oratorio La Passion de Simone that explores themes of light and gravity through luminescent orchestral arcs.
