conductor
Riccardo Minasi
Riccardo Minasi is chief conductor of the Mozarteumorchester in Salzburg, artist in residence of Ensemble Resonanz in Hamburg, and artistic director van Orchestra La Scintilla at Opernhaus Zürich.
In addition, he guest conducts many other orchestras, such as Orchestra dell’Academia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, the Bavarion Radio Symphony Orchestra and Staatskapelle Dresden.
Very much at home in the opera house, among Riccardo Minasi’s highlights have been Bizet’s Les pêcheurs de perles at the Salzburg Festival and Carmen at the Opéra National de Lyon, Händel’s Rinaldo at Vienna’s Theater an der Wien, and several productions including Haydn’s Orlando paladino and Mozart’s Die Entführung aus dem Serail at Opernhaus Zürich. Dutch National Opera saw him conduct Handel’s Rodelinda, Mozart’s Le nozze di Figaro and – in the 2023-24 season – Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte.
His performances are steeped in musicological integrity, and he has acted as historical advisor for the Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal, as well as editor (alongside Maurizio Biondi) of the 2016 Bärenreiter critical edition of Bellini’s Norma. As soloist and concertmaster, Minasi has performed with the likes of Orchestra dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, Il Giardino Armonico, and Le Concert des Nations.
Riccardo Minasi’s scheduled Concertgebouworkest debut in October 2020 was cancelled due to covid-19. In the 2024/2025 season he will lead the orchestra for the first time.
