Paolo Bressan

“The young Italian conductor, former assistant of Daniele Gatti and Christian Thielemann, proved to be an ecstatic and talented conductor who propelled the responsive orchestra through a churning sea of emotions, especially with the intermezzo from Puccini’s Manon Lescaut” (Der Standard, Wien).

Paolo Bressan made a higly acclaimed debut at the Vienna Konzerthaus in a concert with Joseph Calleja and the Brno Philharmonic Orchestra. He conducted at the Théatre-des-Champs-Elysée in Paris and at the Smetana Hall in Prague with the PKF Prague Philharmonia and tenor Bryan Hymel. During the 2015-16 season he made his US debut at the Dallas Opera and in October 2016 at the national auditorium in Mexico City. Warner Music conferred him the artistic supervision of Diana Damrau’s recording “Works of G. Meyerbeer” and Angela Gheorgiu’s “Verismo”. Paolo Bressan started his career at the Mecklenburgisches State Opera in Schwerin, Germany where he also was musical and artistic director of the city’s young symphony orchestra and studied at the conservatory “Giuseppe Verdi” in Milan, Italy and at the university of music “Franz Liszt” in Weimar.
