Conductor
Ottavio DantoneAbout
‘“It is the most beautiful opera in history.” Ottavio Dantone has no doubts. For him, as a harpsichordist and conductor with a superlative knowledge of ancient performance practice, Claudio Monteverdi’s Il Ritorno di Ulisse in Patria is unparalleled in any other era.’ – La Repubblica Firenze
‘The conductor is Maestro Dantone, a specialist in this genre, who relies on his Accademia Bizantina instead of the Maggio orchestra for the instrumental part. This is an obvious choice, given that we are talking about a 17th century opera whose performance requires the use of period instruments such as the lute, the theorbo or the six-stringed violone, which have little or nothing to do with the instruments of a modern orchestra.’ – Il Reporter
‘Ottavio Dantone’s conducting obviously makes a decisive contribution to the success of the performance. He is well-balanced and brilliant in his use of accents and sonorities under the guidance of his precious instrumentalists from the Accademia Bizantina. The tasteful conducting and the softness of the gesture give soul, theatricality and colours to the not so short opera, for which, it is worth remembering, in every performance the conductor makes fundamental choices regarding orchestration and harmonisation.’ – Opera Click
