Witness the recital debut of opera and concert singer Rihab Chaieb on Carnegie Hall’s most intimate stage. “Chaieb has the kind of warm and supple voice which is immediately beguiling … soaring effortlessly,” The New York Times said of her performance as Nefertiti in the Met Opera production of Akhnaten. The Financial Times praises another of Chaieb’s lead roles: “a Carmen who manages to be playful and daredevil at the same time … For a complete portrayal that radiates charisma, it would be hard to do better than this.” Tonight, she performs a wide-ranging program of works that span ancient times to the present, reflecting a vast range of musical and cultural interests, including her own Tunisian and French Canadian heritage.
