Conductor
Otello as Conductor · Metropolitan Opera House · May 1, 2027
Mariotti's ascent through the Italian opera world reflects a conductor of rare stylistic conviction, one who has built his reputation on an intimate understanding of bel canto vocal writing and the orchestral traditions that frame it. His interpretations of Rossini's Guillaume Tell, Il Barbiere di Siviglia, and La Donna del Lago, alongside his command of Semiramide, have earned him recognition as a custodian of these works' essential character. His presence on the podiums of the world's leading houses—from Bologna to London, New York, and Paris—confirms his standing as a major figure in contemporary opera.
