| No question he elevated considerably the quality of the orchestral playing--which is probably what you are referring to--but the Met had "an international artistic stature as a house" from, if not the day it opened, certainly decades and decades before Levine was even born. One can fault the quality of many of the conductors midcentury, the lack of adventurous repertory, the great singers who either debuted later than they should have or never even sang there. One can do this with probably all the other great opera houses during much of their histories. The Met was always considered one of the major companies in the world. | |
