Met names principal guest

Met names principal guest

The Metropolitan Opera has appointed Daniele Rustioni as its principal guest conductor to cover for Yannick Nézet-Séguin’s ever more extensive commitments elsewhere.

Rustioni’s three-year engagement starts next season. He made his Met debut seven years ago and has shown willing ever since. Aged 41, he is music director until next summer at Opéra National de Lyon. He recently concluded a stint at the Ulster Orchestra.

He was on the shortlist to succeed Antonio Pappano at Covnet Garden, but the orchestra preferred the Czech Jakub Hrusa.
