Antonio Pappano
Born: 30th December 1959, Epping, England
Nationality: English, Italian
Conductor Antonio Pappano has made something of a specialism of conducting opera, in particular Italian opera. His conducting debut was at the Norske Opera and he has since been music director at La Monnaie, the Belgian Royal Opera House and, most recently, Covent Garden. His recordings of Puccini's Madama Butterfly, Rossini's Guillaume Tell and Verdi's Requiem, to name just three, have won him awards and critical plaudits galore.
