Narrative:
At FL340; we got a master caution light; followed by a low oil pressure light within 7-10 seconds. We immediately requested lower. ATC gave us FL330 and within 1 min or so the engine seized and we declared an emergency. We then asked for radar vectors for ZZZ preferring a long and wide runway. We ran the appropriate checklists for the engine shutdown; secured the engine; and proceeded to ZZZ and landed without further incident.
