Nina Stemme by Neda Navaee, Roland Pöntinen by Simon Larsson
Witness “the world’s reigning dramatic soprano” (The New York Times) in an exceedingly rare New York performance. Revered worldwide for the challenging roles that she takes to astonishingly great heights at London’s Royal Opera House, Vienna State Opera, La Scala, Bayreuth Festival, and beyond, Nina Stemme now performs her long-awaited debut recital at Carnegie Hall. To hear Stemme perform in any capacity is a thrilling and elusive opportunity for New Yorkers; for it to be a historic recital with Stemme fully under the spotlight with pianist Roland Pöntinen makes it essential.
