Boston Symphony Andris Nelsons, his first concert as the new music director of the Boston Symphony, (From Sept. 2014)
On Friday May 29 at 9pm Eastern on PBS in the United States. Check your local listings for the date and time in your area. If we are lucky, it might be archived on line and watchable outside the USA. Recorded Sept. 2014.

Last September’s (2014) gala event celebrating the start of BSO Music Director Andris Nelsons’ tenure with the orchestra features two of the conductor’s close colleagues: his wife, the acclaimed Latvian soprano Kristine Opolais, and the outstanding German tenor Jonas Kaufmann, each singing selections from the Wagnerian and Italian verismo repertoires.

The concert opens fittingly with Wagner’s Tannhäuser Overture—the work that first inspired a five-year-old Nelsons to a life in music—and closes with Respighi’s spectacular orchestral showcase, Pines of Rome.

The program selections shine a special focus on this exciting new collaboration between conductor and orchestra, and also include Wagner’s Prelude and Liebestod from Tristan und Isolde, with Opolais; and the Intermezzo from Mascagni’s Cavalleria rusticana.

Kaufmann and Opolais—both frequent Nelsons collaborators—join in a performance of the famous duet “Tu, tu, amore? Tu?” from Puccini’s Manon Lescaut. Each singer takes center stage for solo arias, with Opolais singing “Un bel di” from Puccini’s Madama Butterfly. When Kaufmann returns to the stage he sings two beloved tenor selections: the title character’s magical third-act narrative, “In fernem Land,” from Wagner’s Lohengrin, and the dramatic aria, “Mamma, quel vino è generoso,” from Mascagni’s Cavalleria rusticana.
