Diego Matheuz Conductor

Biography

Equally at home with Mozart, Mahler, Bruckner, Shostakovich, Ginastera, Márquez and Marsalis, Diego Matheuz draws inspiration from his past as concertmaster of the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra, as well as from José Antonio Abreu, his conducting teacher, and Claudio Abbado, his mentor. He has been principal conductor of La Fenice in Venice, guest conductor of the Mozart Orchestra in Bologna, and guest conductor of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.

In Europe and North America, he regularly works with the Orchestra of Santa Cecilia in Rome, the Orchestra of La Scala in Milan, the Mahler Chamber Orchestra, the Orchestre de Chambre de Paris, the Orchestre philharmonique de Radio France, the Spanish National Orchestra, the BBC Orchestra, the Borusan Philharmonic Orchestra in Istanbul, the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra.

As an opera conductor, he has worked at the Deutsche Oper in Berlin, the Gran Teatre del Liceu in Barcelona, the Palais de les Arts in Valencia, the Teatro São Carlos in Lisbon, the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, the Rossini Festival in Pesaro, and the Theater an der Wien. He will conduct Aida at the Arena di Verona in 2021, Le Barbier de Séville at the Staatsoper Unter den Linden in Berlin, La Chauve-Souris in Tokyo, Le Comte Ory in Pesaro in 2022 and Carmen for his debut at the Metropolitan Opera in New York in 2023. In the 2024-2025 season, he will conduct L'Élixir d'amour at the Chilean National Opera, La Traviata at La Fenice in Venice, and Le Barbier de Séville at the Vienna State Opera. In Venezuela, Diego Matheuz conducts intensive training sessions and expands the repertoire of orchestras in the El Sistema program. In 2018, he also created the MACH project in Colico (Italy), which gives students from all over the world free lessons and the opportunity to play alongside their teachers.
