BIOGRAPHY

Giovanni Reggioli has quickly established an impressive international career having conducted Falstaff at Opera Australia and in Caracas, Carmen, La bohème and Don Giovanni at Washington National Opera, Un Giorno di Regno at the Caramoor International Music Festival, Un Ballo in Maschera and Turandot in Quebec City, as well as I Pagliacci and Cavalleria Rusticana for PortOpera in Maine. He has led the Metropolitan Opera, Washington National Opera and Los Angeles Opera orchestras, the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, the Orchestra of Saint Luke’s, the Orchestra Filarmonica Mediterranea, and the Orchestra Filarmonica di Sanremo.

His critically acclaimed conducting debut with Opera Australia of Verdi’s Falstaff assured his return for subsequent years: “The lion’s share of the credit for that triumph simply must be awarded to the conductor, Giovanni Reggioli, whose intimate and loving knowledge of the detail of this wonderful work inspired the Australian Opera and Ballet Orchestra to give consistently of its very best, providing a reading of the music so incandescent it rendered all but irrelevant slight shortfalls in other areas of the premiere performance. May Reggioli return soon, and often, to adorn the future performance rosters of Opera Australia.” (Opera~Opera).

Most recently, Giovanni Reggioli conducted Pagliacci/Suor Angelica with Opera Birmingham. In August of 2012, Giovanni Reggioli conducted Manon with Ópera de Colombia in Bogotá.
