We are delighted to welcome stage director Alessio Pizzech to Crescendi Artists’ roster for general management!
Alessio Pizzech is among Italy’s most prolific and imaginative stage directors, with more than 150 productions to his credit across opera and theatre. Over the years he has established close collaborations with some of the most prestigious opera houses and festivals, including Teatro Regio di Torino, Teatro La Fenice di Venezia, Teatro Comunale di Bologna, Teatro Lirico di Cagliari, and the Innsbruck Festival of Early Music, where he staged the modern revival of Pietro Antonio Cesti’s Le nozze in sogno — one of the festival’s most acclaimed rediscoveries.
His artistic signature blends psychological precision, musical intelligence, and a strong sense of visual dramaturgy, capable of transforming both classical and contemporary works into emotionally vivid theatrical experiences. His opera productions reveal a distinctive aesthetic — precise in gesture, visually poetic, and rich in emotional realism — in which musical structure and human experience converge.
In 2025, he directed Nanof by Antonio Agostini at the Teatro Sperimentale di Spoleto and began his collaboration with the Norma Fantini Opera Contest, staging Puccini’s La bohème and curating the artistic training of young singers within the newly founded Fantini Project. In 2024, he premiered Thomas Cornelius Desi’s Butterfly Equation, produced by the Accademia Chigiana di Siena, and staged a new Così fan tutte at the Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb in co-production with the Ljubljana Opera, where the production was later revived. The same season included a revival of Un sogno a Istanbul, also in Zagreb.
Upcoming highlights include Verdi’s Otello, which Pizzech will stage for the first time in 2026 at the Teatro Goldoni di Livorno and the Teatro del Giglio di Lucca, among others.
