View program, cast and crewOver the course of twenty years' experience with illustrious international artists, I have acquired a broad operatic and symphonic repertoire. My career started as a vocal coach and operatic rehearsal pianist with Italian maestri of the "old school" (e.g. Santi, Bartoletti, Arena), progressing to assisting conductors such as Mehta, Maazel, and Chung. From there on my conducting activity has taken me to various opera houses and concert halls in Italy, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, Japan, and China. I have also been a frequent guest teacher of Italian operatic repertoire and style at conservatories in China and Japan. I've enjoyed a longterm association with the Teatro Bellini in Catania, where I recently have conducted productions of Puccini's La rondine (https://youtu.be/JXNGTkfqb0Q) the
