Andrea Molino - conductor
Andrea Molino has established a reputation as a conductor in great demand on the
international scene. He is equally at ease in 20th- and 21st-century music (with
numerous world premieres) and in the traditional operatic and symphonic
repertoire: he has conducted, among other works, Verdi’s ‘popular trilogy’ (Rigoletto,
Il Trovatore and La traviata), Macbeth and Un Ballo in
Maschera, as well as Alban Berg’s Lulu and Shostakovich’s Lady
Macbeth of the Mtsensk District; and works by Mozart and Haydn, as well as
Mahler and Richard Strauss; Rossini as well as Schoenberg, Webern and
Stravinsky.

Season for Opera Australia respectively with Puccini's Tosca and La
Bohème and the NYE Gala at the Sydney Opera House. For Opera Australia he
had previously conducted Verdi's Un Ballo in Maschera (directed by La
Fura dels Baus) and Macbeth and Rossini's Il Turco in Italia among
others. In 2014 he conducted his own opera - there is no why here - at
the Teatro Comunale di Bologna; the piece was then performed in 2015 at deSingel
in Antwerp for the OperaXXI Festival. Particularly interesting also his
