Carnegie Hall has announced that its state-of-the-art performing arts streaming service, Carnegie Hall+, is now available on Prime Video Channels in the US.
One of the things I miss most about living and working in the NY-NJ-CT area is being able to attend arts performances at the many venues in the tri-state region, including Carnegie Hall. (Seeing Izthak Perlman was a truly special evening.) Now I — and you (if you’re in the US) — can stream many of them with Carnegie Hall+.
With programs curated by Carnegie Hall, the Carnegie Hall+ premium subscription video-on-demand channel features some of the finest performing arts presentations from the world’s most prestigious stages, including full-length concerts, operas, dance, documentaries, and artist profiles, plus family offerings. The selections, drawn from the extensive catalogue of Unitel, the world’s leading classical music audiovisual producer and distributor, are refreshed on a monthly basis and include many programs being offered exclusively on the channel and available in the US for the first time.
Launching Carnegie Hall+ as a Prime Video Channel greatly expands the channel’s reach, with Prime Video Channels joining the Apple TV app, Spectrum, Verizon Fios, DISH, Sling TV, and Astound in bringing these extraordinary performances by celebrated artists directly into homes in the US.
Said Clive Gillinson, Carnegie Hall’s Executive and Artistic Director:
“We are very excited to be amplifying the reach of Carnegie Hall+ and making the channel’s remarkable programming available to more and more people across the country. Carnegie Hall+ represents the best in performing arts programming, featuring both new and historic presentations and showcasing many of the finest artists from around the world, all at an affordable price. When watching the channel, subscribers can journey to the Salzburg Festival in Austria, the BBC Proms in London, or watch the Vienna Philharmonic perform in the Golden Hall of the Musikverein in Vienna, plus much more. Hundreds of hours of programming have been specially curated with all arts lovers—from casual viewers to aficionados—in mind.”
With the upcoming release of Bradley Cooper’s feature film, Maestro, and anticipating a resurgence in interest in the life and music of Leonard Bernstein, the channel invites Bernstein fans old and new to explore The Leonard Bernstein Collection, the most extensive collection of concert films, Emmy® Award-winning broadcasts, documentaries, and historic performances featuring the iconic artist as conductor, composer, and pianist, including fully remastered presentations that can only be seen on Carnegie Hall+.
Select must-see programs on the channel also include:
- New opera productions from leading festivals, including the Berlin State Opera’s critically-acclaimed new production of Wagner’s “Ring” cycle.
- Concerts by internationally-renowned classical music artists, including a Bruckner symphony cycle with Christian Thielemann and the Vienna Philharmonic, plus performances by Martha Argerich, Daniel Barenboim, Joyce DiDonato, Asmik Gregorian, Leonidas Kavakos, Evgeny Kissin, Lang Lang, Yo-Yo Ma, Anne-Sophie Mutter, Riccardo Muti, Jordi Savall, and many more.
- Dance presentations, including Rudolf Nureyev’s Vienna State Ballet production of Swan Lake in two versions: the original 1964 performance and a celebrated new version mounted to mark its 50th anniversary.
- Family programming, including Carnival of the Animals with the Kanneh-Mason Family, a colorful “grand zoological fantasy” performed by the seven talented siblings at London’s BBC Proms, plus lively operas including Hansel and Gretel and Cinderella.
Special programming featured this holiday season will include Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker, Handel’s Messiah, plus festive performances by trumpeter Alison Balsom, Sting, and the Vienna Boys Choir.
