Joseph Volpe’s Rise and Reign at the Metropolitan Opera
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.
Events: Joseph Volpe will be reading and signing books
Friday, May 12 at 7 pm
