Levine will be out for several weeks after he undergoes shoulder surgery to repair an injury he suffered in a fall during a Boston Symphony performance.

Southwest Florida Symphony Orchestra Conductor and Music Director Paul Nadler will helm the Met's March 20 opening of Beethoven's "Fidelio," Crain's New York Business reported.

Levine's duties for "Don Pasquale" will be taken over by Maurizio Benini, who is currently conducting the Met's production of "Luisa Miller," Crain's said.
