Roberto Ritstsi Brinoli (Conductor)

Roberto Rizzi Brignoli graduated in Piano, with the highest scores, at the Giuseppe Verdi Conservatory in Milano, where he also completed studies in Composition and Orchestra Conductor.

He remembers with the greatest fondness and gratitude the improvement course - after the Piano studies – held by Maestro Aldo Ciccolini, to whom he owes his immense love for music, transmitted by his masterly and moving performances and the opening of new musical horizons.

After this experience, the great passion for the theatre and for the opera has brought him to dedicate his life to the collaboration with opera singers, working as assistant in numerous theatres of tradition and in this way accumulating an important knowledge of the lyric repertoire.

It was Maestro Gavazzeni, with whom he had a long relationship as pianist, who brought him later on to the Teatro alla Scala, theatre with which he had a long-lasting relationship, up to becoming Head of Musical Services from 1999 to 2002 in the artistic direction of the theatre.

This experience turned out to be fundamental for his artistic growth, especially in meeting with Maestro Muti, of whom he became assistant in many opera and symphonic productions and whose esteem brought him to conduct numerous productions at La Scala, above all Verdi’s music ( M° Muti has written of him:…magnificent musician and indispensable assistant…”).

To these great maestros he owes all of his artistic maturity, to them as splendid artists and masters of life his own schooling goes back to, intended above all as a constant and in-depth research of a particular quality of sound, through a long and meticulous work with the singers and with the orchestra.

Both in the opera as well as the symphonic repertoire, it is this work that is particularly appreciated by uncountable expressions of esteem from orchestras and from opera singers that have worked with him up to now.

The career as conductor started as assistant to the Principal Conductor for some productions at the Festival dei Due Mondi di Spoleto and for Orchestra della RAI di Milano.

But the most important event in those years, the one that has made him known nationally and internationally was the direction of “Lucrezia Borgia” by G. Donizetti for the opera season 1997-98 at the Teatro alla Scala di Milano.
