At Opera Philadelphia, baritone Jarrett Ott, recently praised by Opera News as a “rising star” with “a voice that is polished and immaculately produced,” will replace Nathan Gunn as protagonist W.P. Inman for all five performances of Cold Mountain, February 5-14 at the Academy of Music.  

This summer, the celebrated Bel Canto at Caramoor series presents the centuries-overdue American premiere of Rossini’s Aureliano in Palmira as well as Beethoven’s sole opera, Fidelio.

Conductor Jaap van Zweden will become the New York Philharmonic’s next Music Director, beginning in 2018–19.
