Head to Lincoln Center, and there was Gustavo Dudamel bringing L.A. cheer to a New York Philharmonic. Though he doesn\u2019t officially begin as music and artistic director until September, Dudamel is already making the orchestra matter more than it has since the days of Bernstein, Boulez and \u2026 Mehta. Across the plaza, the mammoth Metropolitan Opera has \u2026 a new production of Wagner\u2019s \u2018Tristan und Isolde.\u2019 This may have become the hottest ticket in town thanks to star singers, but what made it work is the direction by [L.A.-based] Yuval Sharon \u2026 [Choreographer] Benjamin Millepied brought to the Park Avenue Armory his site-specific \u2018Romeo &amp; Juliet Suite,\u2019 originally choreographed for Walt Disney Concert Hall and, later, the Hollywood Bowl, in collaboration with Dudamel and the Los Angeles Philharmonic\u2026. There is a curious\u2014and hopefully not delusional\u2014optimism in classical music, L.A. style. We have lively leadership at all levels. \u2018Accessibility\u2019 isn\u2019t the term bandied about; \u2018adventure\u2019 is. Full houses are common. We\u2019ve become the model, and that model tied to Dudamel\u2019s charismatic positivity has been clearly embraced by the New York Philharmonic.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In Friday\u2019s (4\/3) Los Angeles Times, Mark Swed writes, \u201cOn a recent trip to New York, it was&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":187778,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[36354,48586,9,56,63,65,64,24524],"class_list":{"0":"post-187777","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york-city","8":"tag-accessibility","9":"tag-conductors","10":"tag-new-york","11":"tag-ny","12":"tag-nyc","13":"tag-nyc-headlines","14":"tag-nyc-news","15":"tag-repertoire"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/187777","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=187777"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/187777\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/187778"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=187777"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=187777"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=187777"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
