Joseph Volpe’s Rise and Reign at the Metropolitan Opera
Friday, May 12, 2006
Joseph Volpe is the only person in the history of the Metropolitan Opera to have risen through the ranks from a carpenter’s apprentice to the general manager. In The Toughest Show on Earth, He gives us the inside story of his 40-plus years at the Met—from his working relationship with James Levine, to the move to Lincoln Center, to balancing the needs and desires of high-profile artists like Luciano Pavarotti, Placido Domingo, and Renée Fleming.
