Mario del Monaco left the Metropolitan Opera after 1959 primarily due to a combination of personal and professional factors, including his desire to pursue a more diverse career in concert performances and recordings. Additionally, he faced increasing competition from younger tenors and a shifting operatic landscape that influenced his decision to step back from the Met stage. His departure marked the end of a significant era in which he had established himself as one of the leading dramatic tenors of his time.
