Critically acclaimed for his
profound and deeply musical interpretations of the most demanding repertoire,
both opera and symphonic, Pinchas Steinberg is one of the leading conductors
performing today. He has distinguished himself for many years as a regular guest
of the most prestigious opera houses and concert halls throughout Europe, and
more recently in the United States.
From 1988 to 1993, he held
the position of Permanent Guest Conductor at the Vienna State Opera. His
performances of opera have taken him to leading opera houses around the world,
including London's ROH Covent Garden, Paris, Munich, San Francisco, Berlin,
Rome, Madrid, Vienna. Between 1989 - 1996 he was Chief Conductor of the Radio
Symphony Orchestra in Vienna and between 2002 - 2005 Music Director of the
Orchestre de la Suisse Romande in Geneva. In December 2001 Mr. Steinberg made a
triumphant concert debut with the Cleveland orchestra and since then he returns
to Cleveland on a regular basis.
His recording of Massenet's Cherubin was awarded the Grand Prix du
Disque, the Diapason d'Or, the German Critics Prize and the Caecilia Prize
Bruxelles. Mr. Steinberg's latest recording is Mozart's La Clemenza di Tito
for RCA, recorded live with the Munich Radio Orchestra.
Recent opera engagements include new productions of Puccini's Turandot
and Wagner's Tristan und Isolde at the Deutsche Oper Berlin; a new
production of Korngold's Die tote Stadt at the Opera Bastille in Paris
and at Teatro Real in Madrid; a new production of Puccini's Madama Butterfly
at the Teatro Regio in Turin. In February 2010 he made his debut at La Scala
conducting three concerts with the Orchestra Filarmonica della Scala in
Schumann's Faust Szenen. He opened the 2011/12 season at the Opera
Bastille Paris with Strauss' Salome and he returned in Turin where he
recently conducted Die Erste Walpurgisnacht.
Recent concert engagements include concerts with the Cleveland Orchestra,
Toscanini Orchestra Parma, Sydney Symphony Orchestra, Czech Philharmonic Prague,
among many others.
Future plans: Madama Butterfly and a symphonic concert at
the Teatro dell’Opera in Rome; Tosca at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam;
and a series of concerts in Oslo and Copenhagen.
