A canceled Kennedy Center debut, a Carnegie Hall stage and De Niro reading 'Lincoln'
De Niro will recite Glass's Lincoln at a benefit supporting Tibet House US after the Kennedy Center premiere was canceled amid protests over leadership changes.
- This week, Robert De Niro will appear at Carnegie Hall to recite excerpts from a Philip Glass opera about Abraham Lincoln as part of a Tibet House US benefit.
- Philip Glass's protest followed the center's leadership ouster and the president's actions, including renaming the center and announcing a July shutdown, which artists objected to.
- The work's text is drawn in part from Abraham Lincoln's 1838 Lyceum Address, and Philip Glass, who said 'I am so pleased Robert De Niro is going to read the Lincoln speech,', is serving as artistic director for the benefit at Carnegie Hall.
- Those withdrawals coincide with the announced July shutdown that could disrupt programming for two years, as artists like Renée Fleming, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and Bela Fleck cancel Kennedy Center events.
- With Glass's January cancellation, the piece has been moved to Carnegie Hall this week, and Robert De Niro will appear there to recite Lincoln this Tuesday.
