I’m so happy to be back in NYC! This time to conduct La Bohème at the @MetOpera.
No orchestra rehearsal this time!!! If there is any orchestra I trust to do this with, it’s the @MetOrchestra! Let’s also not forget about the brilliant @MetOperaChorus and stage hands …
“[Daniele Rustioni] exhibits uncompromising commitment, discipline, and musical integrity—all polished with a wonderful sense of humor and a joy of music-making that is sincere and contagious.” —@MetOrchestra concertmaster Benjamin Bowman

Can’t help but get emotional returning to the role of Sophie @MetOpera in just a few days! My Rosenkavalier journey began at the Met in 2013 when I jumped in last-minute for the final run of Merrill’s production. All of Sophie’s emotions were my own during that run! 🌹
Last week, @MetOrchestra principal trumpet David Krauss had what he called a “surreal” moment while performing Verdi’s La Traviata, joined by his son Noah (left) in the pit subbing on cello while his son Eli (right) was ushering in the opera house.
The @MetOrchestra’s 2023–24 @CarnegieHall season has been announced!
