Francesco Lanzillotta (born 1977)[1] is an Italian conductor and composer. As a conductor, he is focused on Italian opera, including contemporary works. He has conducted internationally, such as Verdi's La traviata in Varna, Bulgaria, Nabucco at the Deutsche Oper Berlin, Puccini's La bohème at the Bavarian State Opera, and Dallapiccola's Ulisse at Oper Frankfurt. He has conducted music by contemporary Italian composers.

Career

Lanzillotta was born in Rome. He studied there at the

Teatro Verdi in Triest, Teatro di San Carlo in Naples and Teatro Lirico di Cagliari. He has conducted orchestras including the RAI National Symphony Orchestra, the Orchestra i Pomeriggi Musicali in Milan, the Orchestra della Svizzera Italiana and the Orchestra della Toscana in Florence. He is interested in music of the 20th and 21st centuries,[2][4][5] such as Giorgio Battistelli, Ada Gentile, Ennio Morricone, Michele Dall'Ongaro [it], Marcello Panni [it] and Francesco Pennisi [it].[2][3]

In 2010, Lanzillotta became principal guest conductor at the opera house of

Ana Victória Pitts and Anne-Sophie Duprels in leading roles.[6]

In 2022, he conducted a new production of Dallapiccola's Ulisse at Oper Frankfurt, directed by Tatjana Gürbaca,[4][7] with Iain MacNeil in the title role, Juanita Lascarro as Penelope and Danylo Matviienko as Antinoos.[4] A reviewer from Neue Musikzeitung noted that the music was rendered with precision, colourful and expressive.[7] A reviewer from Süddeutsche Zeitung wrote that Lanzillotta was aware of details, did "not shy away from agglomerations of sound" ("scheut Klangballungen nicht"), but emphasized the flow of Ulisse's search for identity.[8]
