The Italian-Turkish conductor Nil Venditti has been forging close relationships with many international orchestras in recent years. Highlights of recent seasons include collaborations with the Orchestre de l’Opéra national de Paris, the Dresden Philharmonie, the Tonhalle Orchester Zurich, the Irish National Opera and the Orchestra della Toscana, of which she was Principal Guest Conductor until May 2022.
Alongside her strong affinity for the core classical repertoire of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven and her devotion to conducting opera, Nil Venditti also shows a great interest in contemporary programmes. In recent seasons, she has performed works by Fazil Say, Fabien Waksman, Lepo Sumera and Caroline Shaw in particular. This conductor also uses unusual formats to attract new target groups to classical music. In June 2022, Nil Venditti conducted the Irish National Opera’s first virtual reality community opera ›Out of the Ordinary‹, which was developed for and with people from all over Ireland and which places communities at the centre of the opera’s creative process. Nil Venditti made her acclaimed debut with the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen conducting at Musikfest Bremen and returned to the orchestra’s own festival ›Summer in Lesmona‹ the following year.
