Grammy-winning mezzo-soprano Susan Graham kicks off her New Year by going on a European tour with France’s great Ensemble InterContemporain under Pablo Heras-Casado. The tour includes performances at Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw (Jan 11) and Paris’s Cité de la Musique (Jan 14), as well as in Antwerp (Jan 16). Susan will be singing two masterpieces of late Romanticism: Mahler’s first song cycle, Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen, and the “Lied der Waldtaube” from Schoenberg’s epic cantata, Gurrelieder. Graham – who has won the Opera News Award and been named Musical America Vocalist of the Year – will be seen on national TV in the U.S. before she goes on tour in Europe: On January 10 at 9:00 p.m. EST, PBS’s Live at Lincoln Center will broadcast the all-star “Richard Tucker at 100: An Opera Celebration” gala held recently at Lincoln Center’s Avery Fisher Hall, where the mezzo was featured in a lineup of today’s greatest singers. Following that broadcast, Graham – recognized on both sides of the Atlantic as one of the foremost exponents of French vocal music and a recipient of the French government’s prestigious honorific Chevalier de la Légion d’honneur – joins Bernard Haitink and the Boston Symphony for performances of Ravel’s orchestral song cycle Shéhérazade at Boston’s Symphony Hall (Jan 30–Feb 1) and Carnegie Hall (Feb 12). Then heading an all-star cast featuring Plácido Domingo and David Daniels at the Metropolitan Opera, Graham gives her first performances as Sycorax in Jeremy Sams’s hit Baroque pastiche, The Enchanted Island (Feb 26-March 20).
