Just in: Yannick renews at the Met

Just in: Yannick renews at the Met

Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin has renewed hi contract at the Metropolitan Opera until 2023.

There was never any doubt that he would.

General manager  Peter Gelb said, ‘The Met is very fortunate to have one of the world’s greatest conductors as its Music Director and is even more fortunate to now have him on board through the 2029–30 season. His extraordinary achievements to date with both new works and classic repertoire are a preview of what is to come. Yannick’s tenure will be defined, in part, by the new Ring cycle that is created under his watch. My job is to deliver a new Ring to Yannick that has the potential to be one for the ages in terms of casting and production. With Yannick conducting, Lise Davidsen as Brünnhilde, and Yuval Sharon directing, the possibilities are unlimited.’
