In addition to an extensive recording and performance career, Perlman has continued to make appearances on television shows such as ''[[The Tonight Show]]'' and ''[[Sesame Street]]'' as well as playing at a number of [[White House]] functions.

Although Perlman has never been billed or marketed as a singer, he sang the role of "Un carceriere" ("a jailer") on a 1981 [[EMI]] recording of [[Giacomo Puccini|Puccini's]] "[[Tosca]]" that featured [[Renata Scotto]], [[Plácido Domingo]], and [[Renato Bruson]], with [[James Levine]] conducting. He had earlier sung the role in an excerpt from the opera on a 1980 Pension Fund Benefit Concert telecast as part of the [[Live from Lincoln Center]] series with [[Luciano Pavarotti]] as Cavaradossi and [[Zubin Mehta]] conducting the [[New York Philharmonic]].

On July 5, 1986, Perlman performed at the [[New York Philharmonic]]'s tribute to the 100th anniversary of the [[Statue of Liberty]], which was televised live on [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/1986-07-05/features/8602090161_1_liberty-weekend-liberty-festivities-great-lawn |title=Liberty Receives Classical Salute, Sun Sentinel, July 5, 1986 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150223012824/http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/1986-07-05/features/8602090161_1_liberty-weekend-liberty-festivities-great-lawn |archive-date=February 23, 2015 }}</ref> The orchestra, conducted by Mehta, performed in [[Central Park]].

In 1987, Perlman joined the [[Israel Philharmonic Orchestra]] (IPO) for its concerts in [[Warsaw]] and [[Budapest]] as well as other cities in [[Eastern bloc]] countries. He toured with the IPO in the spring of 1990 for its first-ever performance in the [[Soviet Union]], with concerts in [[Moscow]] and [[Saint Petersburg|Leningrad]], and again in 1994, performing in [[China]] and [[India]].

In 2015, on a classical music program titled ''The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center'' produced by [[WQXR-FM|WQXR]] in New York City, it was revealed that Perlman performed the uncredited violin solo on the 1989 [[Billy Joel]] song "[[The Downeaster Alexa]]".

While primarily a solo artist, Perlman has performed with a number of other musicians, including [[Yo-Yo Ma]], [[Pinchas Zukerman]], [[Jessye Norman]], [[Vladimir Ashkenazy]], [[Isaac Stern]], and [[Yuri Temirkanov]] at the 150th anniversary celebration of [[Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky|Tchaikovsky]] in Leningrad in December 1990.

As well as playing and recording the classical music for which he is best known, Perlman has also played [[jazz]], including an album made with jazz pianist [[Oscar Peterson]]; [[klezmer]]; and [[bluegrass music]].<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tk2eR1epPMs | title=John Denver and Itzhak Perlman playing Bluegrass | website=[[YouTube]] | date=December 30, 2011 }}</ref> He has been a soloist in a number of film scores, such as the theme of the [[1993 film]] ''[[Schindler's List]]'' by [[John Williams]], which won an [[Academy Award for Best Original Score]].
