Stefano Montanari - conductor
One of the most outstanding baroque violinists of his generation, Stefano Montanari is now much in demand as a conductor both with modern and period orchestras. M° Montanari was nominated for a Grammy Award for his recording of Purcell’s O Solitude with Andreas Scholl for Decca. His recording of Bach’s Sonatas and Partitas has just been published for the Italian music magazine Amadeus. He recently wrote a Baroque Violin method, published by Carisch. Stefano Montanari returns to Verona after the big success of last year’s Dido and Aeneas, which re-opened the Teatro Ristori, and a successful ballet production based on baroque music around Casanova.
Future plans: Don Giovanni, L’Inganno Felice and series of concerts at the Teatro La Fenice in Venice; Così fan Tutte at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow (debut); several new projects at the Opéra de Lyon, where he is regularly reinvited; a new production of Il Viaggio a Reims at the Nederlandse Opera in Amsterdam (debut); Dido and Aeneas at the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino in Florence, where he will also conduct Bach’s Mass in B Minor and a series of baroque concerts; concerts in Milan with the Orchestra I Pomeriggi Musicali and in Montréal with the Arion Baroque Orchestra. He will also play in several concerts with his own ensemble L’Estravagante in Italy and Europe.
