Biography Costa, Antonov, Morozova, Wexford Festival Opera Chorus, National Philharmonic Orchestar of Belarus & Daniele Callegari



Daniele Callegari
was born in Milan, Italy. He studied at the Conservatory of Music in his home town where he studied double bass and percussions . He was only 22 years old when he was selected to take part of the Teatro alla Scala orchestra, where he remained for 12 years, playing with the most prestigious conductors.

Working daily with high level names such as Abbado, Bernstein, Gergiev, Giulini, Kleiber, Maazel, Mehta, Muti, Ozawa, Pretre, Sawallisch, Sinopoli became an incentive for him to go back to the Conservatory where he majored in composition and conducting. Starting in the 90’s, his career developed in the most important theaters in Italy and abroad, making him in a short time one of the most prominent conductors of his generation. From 1998 to 2001 he has been appointed Principal Conductor at the Wexford Opera Festival,in Ireland.At the same time he started growing a deep interest in the symphonic repertory and in 2002 he was appointed Chief Conductor at the De Filharmonie (Royal Flanders Philharmonic) in Anthwerp,Belgium. Such assignment was then renewed until 2008. His peculiar interest in Italian Operas of the 20th century and his unusual and obsolete repertory kept him away from a “routine” career. In fact, he conducted some world first performances, in 1993 “Alice” by Giampaolo Testoni, at the Teatro Massimo in Palermo, Italy, in 2003 “Oedipe sur la route” by Pierre Bartholomee, at La Monnaie in Bruxelles and in 2006, with De Filharmonie, he recorded the 2 “Preludes” books by Debussy, orchestrated by Luc Brewaeys and a CD of music composed by Bert Joris for Jazz Band and Symphonic Orchestra.

His repertory includes titles like: “Arlesiana” by Cilea, “I Quatro Rusteghi” by Wolf-Ferrari, “I Cavalieri di Ekebu’” by Zandonai, “Siberia”by Giordano, “Alessandro Stradella” by Flotow, “Le Rois Arthus” by Chausson, “Orleanskaya Deva” by Tchaikovsky.
