Yannick Nézet-Séguin to Throw First Pitch at Phillies Game on Tuesday
Yannick Nézet-Séguin leaves absolutely no holes in his schedule: He just opened the Metropolitan Opera’s season in New York, played for the papal visit, and has the Philadelphia Orchestra’s opening gala this Wednesday. Nevertheless, he’s snuck in a little time to enjoy a Phillies game in a way that you might not expect.
The conductor is scheduled to throw the first pitch of Tuesday’s Phillies game against the New York Mets at Citizens Bank Park. In-between rehearsals for his performance for the Pope, he threw a couple of practice shots backstage, and the Orchestra’s Instagram captured it via video:
