James Levine, who was originally scheduled to conduct this concert, withdrew due to the need for immediate surgery for a herniated spinal disc. Beethoven’s Coriolan Overture replaces Berlioz’s Le Carnaval romain on the program. The remainder of the evening’s repertoire will remain unchanged.Daniele Gatti became Music Director of the Orchestre National de France in September 2008, succeeding Kurt Masur. In September 2009, he assumed the position of Chief Conductor of the Zurich Opera. In 2005, the Italian critics awarded him the Abbiati Prize.
