Guillaume Bernardi
Director
© Oper Frankfurt
Operas directed by Guillaume Bernardi for Oper Frankfurt in the Bockenheimer Depot were Haydn's L’isola disabitata, Marc Neikrug's Through Roses and the first ever staged production of Francisco Antonio de Almeida's oratorio La Giuditta. In recent seasons he has concentrated almost entirely on early Italian operas, with a particular emphasis on works by Francesco Cavalli and Allessandro Stradella. In 2019 he directed The Harlequin Salon in Toronto. His passion for opera and dance was born while working closely with the American choreographer Trisha Brown, whose celebrated joint productions have included L’Orfeo heraus. Canadian, who teaches at York University in Toronto, studied French and Italian literature at the Sorbonne in Paris.
