Daniele Rustioni, current musical director of the Opéra National de Lyon, has just been appointed principal guest conductor of the prestigious Metropolitan Opera in New York. Having already conducted operas in this legendary venue, as well as a concert at Carnegie Hall with the Met Orchestra, he will take up his new role starting in the 2025-2026 season, becoming only the third principal guest conductor in the institution’s history. In his new position, Daniele Rustioni will conduct at least two operas per season. A new production of Verdi’s Simon Boccanegra has already been announced, alongside revivals of Giordano’s Andrea Chénier, Mozart’s Don Giovanni, and Puccini’s La Bohème. Yannick Nézet-Séguin, the Met’s current music director, expressed his delight at inviting Daniele to conduct, citing their shared artistic values.
