“I have been trying for years to get Ian Bostridge to McCarter, so patience must indeed be a virtue! Is there a more admired singer in the world today than this British tenor, whether in opera or in the orchestral and recital repertoire? I doubt it, which is why he’s so much in demand by every conductor, orchestra and opera house you can name. He’s had his own Perspectives Series at Carnegie Hall, he’s won a Grammy, he was awarded a CBE by the Queen in the 2004 New Year’s Honours – and now he’ll have a McCarter recital to add to the list.”
