Yannick Nézet-Séguin, whose conducting of Francis Poulenc’s Carmélites will put a bow on his first season as #music director at the @metopera, decided at age 10 to be a conductor. Although his post entails conducting not only several operas a year but also a whole musical ­enterprise, he says that’s a good fit with the gregariousness that led him away from the more solitary pursuit of playing the piano. His priority has been to bring that mood to work, to help his colleagues feel “love for the art form again” after a difficult few years, so they pass on the feeling to audiences. @nezetseguin has become a symbol of change partly because of the man waiting for him in his office: violist Pierre Tourville, his longtime partner. The openness of his Instagram-­friendly life with Tourville and their cats is a rejoinder to old stereotypes about a glowering, distant, all-­powerful maestro on a pedestal. To him, what sets his generation of conductors apart is a willingness to break down boundaries between musical genres, between those in the pit and the person on the podium, between audience and orchestra. Restaurants, he notes, took time to get used to the idea of open kitchens; now they’re everywhere. “We just need to think the same way,” he says. “It doesn’t detract from being the best.” Read more at the link in bio.
