Andrea De Rosa Tickets

Gra­dua­ted in phi­lo­so­phy in 1994, began his acti­vity as a direc­tor by wor­king on seve­ral short films inclu­ding Notes for a phe­no­me­no­logy of the vision, which debu­ted at the Inter­na­tio­nal Festi­val of Young Cinema in Turin.

In 2004 he made his direc­to­rial debut with Ido­me­neo and since then his acti­vity is split bet­ween thea­ter and opera.

on­cer­ning this last one, he dealt with many titles of the twen­tieth cen­tury: Ben­ja­min Britten’s Cur­lew River, Bruno Maderna’s Saty­ri­con, a trip­tych of works for the Tea­tro Sao Car­los in Lisbon com­po­sed by Paul Hindemith’s Sancta Susanna, Erwar­tung by Arnold Schön­berg and Il dis­so­luto assolto by Azio Cor­ghi based on the libretto writ­ten by José Sara­mago (world pre­miere).

The nineteenth-century’s opera titles include Mac­beth, L’elisir d’amore

and Maria Stuarda.

In Decem­ber 2006 he also direc­ted Don Pasquale, con­duc­ted by Ric­cardo Muti (avai­la­ble on DVD) with whom he also wor­ked in May 2008 for the sta­ging of an opera by Gio­vanni Pai­siello, Il Matri­mo­nio ina­spet­tato, for the Whi­tsun Festi­val in Salz­burg.

Con­cer­ning the prose reper­toire, his pro­duc­tions are cha­rac­te­ri­zed by a great inte­rest in the tra­gic cha­rac­ters: star­ting from the Enco­mio di Elena an adap­ta­tion of the homo­ny­mous text of the sophist Gor­gia da Len­tini, The Tro­jan Women by Euri­pi­des, The tenth year from Euri­pi­des and Aeschy­lus, up to Elec­tra by Hugo von Hof­mann­sthal. The past few sea­sons have seen him invol­ved in two suc­ces­sful pro­duc­tions: Mary Stuart by Frie­drich von Schil­ler, Molly Swee­ney by Brian Friel and The Tem­pest by Wil­liam Sha­ke­speare.

From Decem­ber 2008 to May 2011 he was direc­tor of the Tea­tro Sta­bile of Naples, where, in addi­tion to The Tem­pest, in February 2011 he sta­ged Eve­ry­thing great in the Tem­pest, about the work of Mar­tin Hei­deg­ger, the lar­gest phi­lo­so­pher of the twen­tieth cen­tury.

In June 2011 he direc­ted Man­fred by G. G. Byron in its full thea­tri­cal edi­tion, with music by Schu­mann for both Reper­tory Thea­tre and Tea­tro Regio in Turin under the baton of Gia­nan­drea Noseda. For Tea­tro Sta­bile of Turin he sta­ged Shakespeare’s Mac­beth with which he tou­red in some major Ita­lian Thea­ters in 2012 and 2013. After­wards he direc­ted Norma for Tea­tro dell’Opera di Roma in the Terme di Cara­calla and sta­ged in Modena a work inspi­red by Plato’s Sym­po­sium.
