Get a taste of Italy this summer as you travel the world on Carnegie Hall+! Start in Arena di Verona—the spectacular outdoor Roman amphitheater—and enjoy the newly released productions of Puccini’s dramatic Tosca starring Sonya Yoncheva and Vittorio Grigolo.

Next, head to Milan’s incomparable Teatro alla Scala for three beloved ballet favorites––all new to Carnegie Hall+. Experience celebrated productions of Giselle choreographed by Yvette Chauviré, and Le Corsaire and Sylvia choreographed by Manuel Legris.

Plus on August 3 in New York City, join us for a free, outdoor film screening in Bryant Park of Bizet’s Carmen, starring Elīna Garanča, presented as part of Carnegie Hall Citywide.

Arena di Verona revives Franco Zeffirelli’s legendary 1995 production of Bizet’s masterpiece about a headstrong young woman from Seville. This performance features mezzo-soprano Elīna Garanča in the title role.

In Verona’s ancient Roman arena, 22,000 audience members relish Sonya Yoncheva and Vittorio Grigolo in Puccini’s Tosca. The captivating staging by Argentine director Hugo de Ana creates a spectacle of monumental opulence.

A tale of love, betrayal, and redemption, Giselle stirs emotions with a story set in the contrast between a sunlit world and a dark, haunted realm. Originally directed by Coralli and Perrot, Yvette Chauvire reimagines the choreography of her most famous role.

This production gives new life to a 19th-century classic. With powerful characters and feats of virtuosity, choreographer Manuel Legris adds freshness to a timeless story of mythological inspiration.

Choreographer Manuel Legris’s Le Corsaire highlights his creativity and energetic virtuosity. With its clear and accessible plot, and evocative decor and costumes, it is one of the 19th century’s most adventurous and thrilling ballets.
