The Italian-Turkish conductor Nil Venditti has in recent years forged close relationships with many international orchestras including the Royal Northern Sinfonia and of which, from the 2024/25 season, she will be Principal Guest Conductor. 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, where Nil Venditti held the position of Principal Guest Conductor until May 2022.
Alongside her strong affinity for the core classical repertoire of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven and in addition to her commitment as an opera conductor, Nil Venditti shows an equally strong interest in contemporary programming. Her performances in recent seasons have included works by Fazıl Say, Fabien Waksman, Lepo Sumera and Caroline Shaw in particular. This conductor also uses unusual formats to attract new audiences 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 puts communities at the centre of the opera’s creative process. Nil Venditti also made her acclaimed debut with the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen conducting at Musikfest Bremen and returned to the orchestra’s own ›Sommer in Lesmona‹ the following year.
