| Carnegie Hall today announced that acclaimed soprano Susanna Phillips has agreed to step in for soprano Annette Dasch this Saturday, November 21 at 8:00 p.m. in Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage with the Berliner Philharmoniker and Music Director Sir Simon Rattle. Ms. Dasch is unable to perform on Saturday due to illness. This is the final concert in the orchestra’s Beethoven symphony cycle that began on Tuesday, in which Sir Simon will conduct all nine symphonies in five concerts over five consecutive days. Ms. Phillips will join mezzo-soprano Eva Vogel, tenor Christian Elsner, and bass Dimitry Ivashchenko for the performance of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 along with the Westminster Symphonic Choir. Tickets for the performance are sold out, though a limited number of returns may be available.
About the Artist
Alabama-born soprano Susanna Phillips, recipient of The Metropolitan Opera’s 2010 Beverly Sills Artist Award, continues to establish herself as one of today’s most sought-after singing actors and recitalists. The 2015-2016 season will see Ms. Phillips return to the Met for an eighth consecutive season, starring as Roselinda in Jeremy Sams’s Die Fledermaus, conducted for the first time by music director James Levine, as well as a return to her acclaimed portrayal of Musetta in Puccini’s La Bohème. Ms. Phillips will also return to the stage of Lyric Opera of Chicago as Juliet in Gounod’s Romeo and Juliet under the baton of Emmanuel Villaume. A return to Boston Lyric Opera will mark Phillips’s debut in the role of Hanna in a new production of Lehár’s The Merry Widow.
2015-2016 orchestra engagements include a return to the San Francisco Symphony with Michael Tilson Thomas for Barber’s Knoxville: Summer of 1915, Beethoven’s Missa solemnis with David Robertson and the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, and Mahler’s Das klagende Lied with Jaap van Zweden and the Dallas Symphony Orchestra.
