Gustavo Dudamel Steps Down from Paris Opera

Gustavo Dudamel, the music director of the Paris Opera, will resign in August, four years ahead of schedule and after just two seasons in the job, to spend more time with his family. Dudamel also leads the Los Angeles Philharmonic and will take over as music and artistic director of the New York Philharmonic in 2026. His resignation comes a few months after he made the surprise announcement that he would leave his post in Los Angeles.
