CINCINNATI (AP) -- James Levine has agreed to conduct a new production of "Die Meistersinger" in June 2010 to commemorate the Cincinnati Opera's 90th season.

Levine, a Cincinnati native, is music director of New York's Metropolitan Opera and the Boston Symphony Orchestra.

"To conduct Wagner's `Die Meistersinger,' one of my very favorite works, with the Cincinnati Symphony in the pit and so many great singers on stage is a much anticipated joy," Levine told The Cincinnati Enquirer for a story published Wednesday.

The new production will be set in the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood of Cincinnati, where many German immigrants lived in the 19th century. The opera traditionally is set in Germany.
