A regular guest of the Hall, Audra has been heard on Carnegie’s stages 17 times, including as part of its 120th anniversary gala with the New York Philharmonic and a 2002 concert staging of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Carousel with Hugh Jackman. Of her last appearance in 2011, the New York Times wrote: “She is a one-of-a-kind musical super-talent…Her soprano voice is stronger than ever, its mighty middle range a daunting power tool.”
