The world-renowned conductor Zubin Mehta launched his career when he enrolled at the Vienna Academy of Music at the tender age of just 16. Just nine years later, he was standing at the conductor's the podium in front of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. He was later appointed musical director of the Montreal Symphonic Orchestra, as well as the Los Angeles, Israeli and New York Philharmonic Orchestras. He frequently conducts at Europe's leading opera houses, including Covent Garden, the Wiener S...taatsoper and La Scala in Milan. As a result of his close ties to the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, he has been involved in major concerts and productions of opera cycles with the orchestra since 1986. These have included Wagner's Ring Cycle, Mozart's Da Ponte Trilogy, Schönberg's Moses and Aron (a staging that won the Abbiati critic's prize), and the Beijing premier of Turando. He has also participated in several international tournaments with the orchestra and made a number of recordings. He also conducted two highly successful television productions of Puccini's Tosca and a Paris broadcast of La Traviata. Mehta has received a number of prestigious awards and is now employed as musical director of the Bavarian State Opera and the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra. Presented by: The Budapest Spring Festival
