Soprano Deborah Voigt and tenor Ben Heppner will perform in concert at Avery Fisher Hall on November 9 in a gala benefit for Lincoln Center.
The two opera stars will be accompanied by the Orchestra of St. Luke's, led by Asher Fisch. Soprano Margaret Jane Wray will also appear.
The program includes the love duet from Act II of Wagner's Tristan und Isolde, the final duet from Act II of the composer's Siegfried, and arias from Tannhäuser, Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, Beethoven's Fidelio, and Weber's Der Freischütz, as well as the overture to Fidelio.
Tickets for the concert are $70, $50, and $35, and are available at the Lincoln Center box office, via CenterCharge at 212-721-6500, or at www.lincolncenter.org. For gala tickets including cocktails and dinner, call 212-875-5461.
Voigt is one of the world's leading sopranos, known particularly for Wagner and Strauss roles. She will sing a program of pop standards at Lincoln Center in January in a concert billed as her cabaret debut. Heppner's roles include Tristan and the title roles in Lohengrin, Verdi's Otello, and Berlioz's Aeneas. He will sing Siegfried for the first time in 2008 at the Aix-en-Provence Festival.
