Fabio Bernoni, Conductor
 At a very young age, he sang in the children’s chorus at the Rome Opera House for a period of five years. His love of music led him to study composition and conducting with M° Nicola Samale.
In 1989 he attended lessons given by M° Leonard Bernstein at the “Accademia Nazionale di S.Cecilia” in Rome. He pursued his studies with M° Donato Renzetti and received a diploma at the Academy of Music in Pescara. Then he attended a master class given by M° Aldo Ceccato on Schubert’s symphonies with the orchestra “I Pomeriggi Musicali” in Milan.
He has worked extensively in theatres all over Europe as conductor and choirmaster.
In 1994 he made his debut as conductor, conducting Il Barbiere di Siviglia at Le Parvis-Scène Nationale in Tarbes (France). In 1995 he conducted a new production of Rigoletto at the theatre Odyssud of Blagnac (Toulouse), at the Cultural Centre “Le Pin Galant” of Mérignac (Bordeaux) and at the Teatro Victoria Eugenia in San Sebastian (Spain).

In 1996 he conducted two new productions: La Traviata (in its original score) in France (Mérignac, Tarbes, Rodez, Bayonne); Tosca in France and Spain (Blagnac, Mérignac, Narbonne, San Sebastian).
In 1997 he conducted La Traviata again, at the Théâtre Municipal in Sète (France). In 1999 he was invited to Prague by the orchestra “Praga Sinfonietta” to conduct Mozart’s Requiem in two concerts.

His repertoire goes from symphonic music (Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Dvorak, Falla, Mendelssohn, Mozart, Schubert, etc…) to Italian opera (Verdi, Puccini, Rossini, Bellini, Donizetti, etc…), to Mozart’s Italian works and Bizet’s Carmen.
