Soprano Kathleen Battle is set to return to the Metropolitan Opera on May 12, 2024, for a recital.

The concert will mark her first appearance at the house since her historic concert in 2016 highlighting music of the Underground Railroad.

The new program features music by Purcell, Schubert, Mendelssohn, Fauré, Villa-Lobos, and Rodrigo, as well as selected spirituals. Battle will be joined by harpist Bridget Kibbey and two-time Grammy-nominated guitarist Chico Pinheiro.

Battle made her Met debut as the Shepherd in Wagner’s “Tannhäuser” in 1977 and went on to perform in “Il Barbiere di Siviglia,” “L’Elisir d’Amore,” and “Die Zauberflöte.”

She has won such awards as the Laurence Olivier Award, the Grammy, and an Emmy.

Tickets will be on sale March 22 and the recital is being produced by AMP Worldwide.
