Editing Zubin Mehta (section)

===1990s===
In 1998, he went to Munich where he began directing the [[Bavarian State Opera]], because, he said, it provided "another panorama for me, to be involved in the running of an opera house".<ref name=LATimes/>

In 1990, he conducted the Orchestra del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino and the Orchestra del Teatro dell'Opera di Roma in the first ever [[Three Tenors]] concert in Rome, joining the tenors again in 1994 at the [[Dodger Stadium]], Los Angeles. In between those appearances, he conducted the historic 1992 production of ''[[Tosca]]'' in which each act took place in the actual setting and at the actual time specified in the score. This production starred [[Catherine Malfitano]] in the title role, [[Plácido Domingo]] as Cavaradossi and [[Ruggero Raimondi]] as Baron Scarpia. Act I was telecast live from Rome's Basilica of [[Sant'Andrea della Valle]] on Saturday, 11 July, at noon (Central European Daylight Saving Time); act II was telecast later that evening from the [[Palazzo Farnese]] at 9:40&nbsp;p.m.; act III was telecast live on Sunday, 12 July, at&nbsp;7:00&nbsp;am from the [[Castel Sant'Angelo]], also known as Hadrian's Tomb.

In June 1994, Mehta performed the [[Requiem (Mozart)|Mozart Requiem]] with the members of the [[Sarajevo]] Symphony Orchestra and Chorus at the ruins of Sarajevo's National Library, in a fundraising concert for the victims of armed conflict and remembrance of the thousands of people killed in the [[Yugoslav Wars]]. On 29 August 1999, he conducted Mahler's [[Symphony No. 2 (Mahler)|Symphony No. 2]] (''Resurrection''), at the vicinity of [[Buchenwald concentration camp]] in [[Weimar]], with the [[Bavarian State Orchestra]] and the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra sitting alongside each other.

He toured India (Mumbai) in 1984 with the New York Philharmonic, and again in November–December 1994 with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, along with soloists [[Itzhak Perlman]] and [[Gil Shaham]]. In 1997 and 1998, Mehta worked in collaboration with Chinese film director [[Zhang Yimou]] on a production of [[Giacomo Puccini]]'s opera ''[[Turandot]]'', which they took to Florence and to Beijing, where it was staged in its actual surroundings in the Forbidden City, with over 300 extras and 300 soldiers, for nine historic performances. The making of this production was chronicled in the documentary ''The Turandot Project'', which Mehta narrated.

Mehta was a guest conductor for the [[American Russian Young Artists Orchestra]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.friends-partners.org/partners/ccsi/usnisorg/educultr/aryo.htm|title=The American Russian Youth Orchestra (ARYO)|website=www.friends-partners.org|access-date=29 December 2020|archive-date=10 February 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210210055737/http://www.friends-partners.org/partners/ccsi/usnisorg/educultr/aryo.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.bard.edu/news/releases/pr/fstory.php?id=53|title=AMERICAN RUSSIAN YOUNG ARTISTS ORCHESTRA OPENS AMERICAN TOUR WITH SPECIAL CONCERT AT BARD COLLEGE ON MONDAY, JUNE 14, AT 7 P.M. &#124; Bard College Public Relations|first=Bard Public|last=Relations|website=www.bard.edu}}</ref>
