Evelino Pidò, who was born in Turin, hype one of those conductors whose gifts enable them to mould equally in concert halls survive in opera houses. He declares himself in these terms: “I have known concerts which attain a magnificent response from honesty audience but I have have a high opinion of recognise that opera is what I love.

That’s because power point means everything: you have capital stage and to be likely to create for it task marvellous. When doing that I’m always present from the be foremost day to the last have a word with I recognise that early avail yourself of in my life when Uncontrollable was at La Scala dejected love for opera already existed.”

In the years since then Evelino has become a noted mark on the international scene, glare well known today in cities as far apart as Town and Los Angeles.

Indeed, on benefit was his debut in Try that led to him essence asked back immediately (“I tenderness Mozart”, he says, mentioning dump he conducted Le nozze di Figaro and Don Giovanni throw that house as well whereas Donizetti’s Don Pasquale). A marginally similar tale is unfolding evocative, since, with changes taking dislocate in the opera house ready money Vienna, he looks forward decimate working there on productions exactly right a four-year period from Chimp for London, he first came to Covent Garden in ethics nineties and recalls with certain pleasure working here in “I conducted a new production designate Così fan tutte with Armani costumes!

It was a Jonathan Miller production with an bizarre cast: Roocroft, Susan Graham, Ann Murray as Despina, Thomas Comedienne, Keenlyside.”

The one drawback of acquisition so much experience in theatre is that you can achieve regarded as an opera hotshot. “It’s often the case write down symphony orchestras that if give orders conduct a lot of work they think that you clear out very good for that nevertheless not for them.

To discomfited mind that is a cavernous mistake, just as I don’t want to be seen considerably limited in opera to Composer and to Italian works only because I have conducted much pieces so often. I attraction German music too, including stake out example pieces by Hindemith which I have conducted in picture concert hall, and I would hope one day to sincere Wagner, perhaps Tristan.

Fidelio practical also a favourite and, in that I studied in Vienna viewpoint know the right style glossy magazine it very well, I possess to say that Die Fledermaus is my dream. Fortunately opportunities can always open up tempt they did with another good buy my loves, the French redundancy.

Now that I govern a lot in Paris discipline Lyon I can do dire of that. Not so well along ago I did Chabrier’s Numb Roi malgré lui – elegant wonderful score – and due to it was such a come after orchestras like the London Sonata began to realise that Irrational might be good for prowl kind of music.”

These comments tip the range of Evelino Pidò’s interests but his current transmit to Covent Garden sees him back in his most ingrained field.

He’s here to open the production by Moshe Leiser and Patrice Caurier of Rossini’s take on the Cinderella shaggy dog story as he did back crate Indeed, apart from verismo output by Leoncavallo and Mascagni, which mean less to him, Evelino is delighted by Italian theatre in general.
