Discover transformative new work and U.S. premieres

Contemporary and classical traditions reflect New York's cultural diversity in never-before-experienced premieres at Lincoln Center. David Lang's poor hymnal, a concert-length work written for the GRAMMY-winning chamber choir The Crossing, has its New York premiere this December. Get swept up in the world of Carmen like never before with La Carmencita, a fresh take on Bizet's classic from the innovative new opera company, The Opera Next Door. In collaboration with the New York Philharmonic, Rubén Blades' large-scale musical work Maestra Vida—a soaring, genre-defying urban drama centered on the Latin American lived experience—will be presented in the U.S. for the very first time.

This year, beginning October 2024, we're honoring the incomparable Rubén Blades, one of the most successful vocalists and songwriters in music and salsa history, with performances across the campus.
