Gaetano Delogu - The Vittorio Emanuele Theatre Orchestra

This is the long-awaited return of conductor Gaetano Delogu to his native city. His international career started when he won the “Mitropulos” Competition in New York., then becoming Leonard Bernstein’s assistant at the New York Philharmonic, and Permanent Conductor for the Denver Symphony Orchestra and later its Conductor Emeritus. During his prestigious career he has conducted orchestras such as the London Philharmonic and the London Symphony, the BBC, the Covent Garden Orchestra, the Orchestre National de France, the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Japan Philharmonic. Permanent conductor and musical director of the Prague Symphony Orchestra (of which he is now the Honorary Conductor), he travelled on international tours with this orchestra and made a number of recordings for Supraphon, some winning a Golden Record Award. With the Czech National Symphony Orchestra he often travelled to Italy and to the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. The guest of the most important international institutions, he has received invitations from Japan, South America, Yugoslavia and Croatia. Now the younger generations of his fellow citizens can listen to him for the first time performing Schubert’s last symphony and Mendelssohn’s dazzling Italiana.
