The Metropolitan Opera

After two weeks and nine spectacular concerts, the @MetOrchestra ’s historic first tour across Asia went out with a bang last night at the National Concert Hall in Taipei. Here are just a few moments from the performance, which saw Music Director @nezetseguin lead Jessie Montgomery’s Hymn for Everyone, a pair of Mozart concert arias with soprano @LisetteOropesa , and Mahler’s magnificent Symphony No. 5.

Despite his busy schedule leading the @MetOrchestra ’s landmark tour across Asia, Music Director @nezetseguin also prioritized connecting with the local musical communities. After a recent concert in Taipei—marking the first time that the ensemble ever performed in Taiwan—Maestro Nézet-Séguin spent time in conversation with a group of talented music students and shared some wisdom about following a career in the arts.
