RIP, Maestro Levine. Thank you for all the great performances in NYC I had the privilege of attending. Bravo 👏🏻

[@bohuslav5019]

He was a child-molester and a monster. Yuck.

[@NYCOPERAFAN]

Watching this now with what the entire world now knows to be true about this man (never a secret within the classical music industry for at least 4 decades) reminds us just how easy it is to bamboozle the credulous media - very much including the arts media.

[@vesteel]

I'll still watch his performances and productions. He is a great conductor now doubt about that. I support him as a musician, not a molester. I like Wagner but that doesn't mean i'm a nazi now.

[@papagen00]

It's shameful how the Met threw him under the bus and jumped on the #MeToo bandwagon.

[@salt1955]

First one was overture to Bartered Bride by Smetana, the Second Ride of the Valkyries and followed by Meistersinger overture both by Wagner, next was the overture to Don Pasquale by Donizetti - not too sure about the aria although it is very popular...

[@ransomcoates546]

He’s performing again in Europe I see.

[@vocalfan2397]

Rest, Jimmy. You left this world with the "righteous: judging you. But your genius lives on....

[@NYCOPERAFAN]

Yes how unreasonable to judge a pedophile of many decades who ruined the potential careers of so many promising young musicians - "too harshly". Sort of how MAGA folk react to every single proven Trump scandal - wouldn't surprise me if you were one.

[@mbwilson2625]

If Hitler was a genius, should he rest in peace?

[@k.t.7561]

Rest in peace ,sir.

[@melania105]

0:37 You're a treasure, lolz

[@michaeldoyle6702]

What about Levine's Missa Solemnis? If I knew he was signing I would have got on the plane from Toronto with my cd double set. Good to hear Levine is in good health. Another Missa might be in the offering.

[@MrSottobanco]

I guess james won't be going to Lake Forest, Illinois in the near future.

[@ettoredipugnar6990]

Little Jimmy ! You won’t shout as I fiddle about 😂

[@vietrus7815]

We miss you so much Jim! 🙏🌺

[@mbwilson2625]

What planet are you from? Pervert!!!

[@markcombrinck-hertz3649]

hi mark vey good

[@TheOHenry666]

3:00 what piece is that?

[@herbmuell]

Simone Boccanegra, a Verdi opera.

[@darkprose]

Did Levine say, "Now, three P's"? As in pianississimo?

[@papagen00]

what year was this docu made?

[@Ronin6x]

The American Master!

[@ci7446]

now I will be re-watching all of jimmy's recorded performance from a totally different light, from a specifically homosexual angle

[@wehaveasituation]

It was never really a secret in the opera world, but as we see, the avalanche in on..

[@wehaveasituation]

When I heard that the accuser has said that his " life has been affected" I immediately saw a lawyer scurrying to phone.

[@ci7446]

i'm sorry for the victim (that's a horrible thing to go through) but now I am finding this 'new dimension' quite refreshing and exciting!!

[@TheCarnivalguy]

"... and nurtured new generations of young artists". The nurturing towards young male artists was of particular importance to Mr. Levine. No matter what he has accomplished in his professional life, his sexual misdeeds with young, and sometimes underage males, will forever overshadow Levine's musical career. I'm beginning to think that the old line, "Men think with their dicks" is true. smh It's unfortunate that Levine could not take Domingo with him on the way out.

[@telephilia]

How unfortunate that most people today probably know him as an alleged sex abuser. But his musical testament will outlast the news cycle. Would the people here who want to ban all his performance likewise wish to banish Wagner?

[@kristinethomas7042]

William Perry That's a start.

[@theoneand0nly874]

Kristine Thomas so you would wanna remove music ? What a monster

[@cbinkee]

".....his musical testament will outlast the news cycle".....that is sickenly dangerous. you are a fool

[@jacobsmith8619]

Update: he died known as a sexual abuser, not as a conductor. His legacy is one of infamy now

[@NYCOPERAFAN]

Nothing "alleged" about it at all - an open secret in the classical world since at least the late 70s, in fact going back to his Julliard student days.

[@JuliaGrigorian123]

Dear Maestro Levine, I'm a musician, would you like to perform with me? I'm composing my own music, I've a master degree. Julia Grigorian

[@BellaFirenze]

HE IS DEAD!

[@ettoredipugnar6990]

In the end he turned into Gollum

[@markcombrinck-hertz3649]

[@GD-ec2xu]

I clicked on this video because I thought it said "1 in 6"

[@thomaslehmanbaritone]

Overture to Simon Boccanegra

[@1q2w3e4r5t6zism]

Careerists & hypocrites

[@raynardi7243]

Domingo....ma basta....

[@Robert...Schrey]

conductors should be unapproachable.

[@RizztrainingOrder]

Maestro of little boys

[@MahlerHolic1860]

All those who knew about his disgusting perversions and kept schtum are also guilty.

[@davy91101]

Please retire Levine clips.

[@spind]

Please retire yourself.

[@BellaFirenze]

Great musician. Terrible human being.
