The Metropolitan Opera Conductor Who Originally Wanted To Be The Pope

MUSIC Posted: December 15, 2019 9:00 am

Yannick Nézet-Séguin says that after many years of wanting to conduct the Mass, he decided one day when he was 10 to play-act at conducting Mozart’s Symphony No. 40. That day, everything changed: “At that moment, my fascination with reli​g​ion was transferred to music and the liturgical aspect of the church became the ritual of the concert.” – The New York Times
