OctoberCARNEGIE HALL The season at America’s pre-eminent concert hall opens on Oct. 6 with the conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin, the star of New York’s musical fall, and his Philadelphia Orchestra, with Yuja Wang playing Shostakovich’s Piano Concerto No. 2 alongside works by Bernstein, Valerie Coleman and Iman Habibi. And also Beethoven — the Fifth Symphony — to kick off the Philadelphians’ months-spanning, five-concert cycle of the symphonies, delayed from 2020. ‘FIDELIO’ San Francisco Opera is celebrating not only its return to live indoor performance this fall, but also a landmark: In Eun Sun Kim, it has the first female music director of a major American opera company. (Gustavo Dudamel will also conduct “Fidelio” with the Los Angeles Philharmonic in April, a collaboration with Deaf West Theater.)
