Kazem Abdullah Opera Portfolio Kazem Abdullah (40) has spent the last fifteen years working at opera houses all over the world. After spending three seasons at the Metropolitan Opera as an assistant conductor, he went on to become the Generalmusikdirektor in Aachen, Germany where his predecessors in this post include such luminaries as Wolfgang Sawallisch and Herbert von Karajan. During his five years in Aachen he conducted over 20 operas. The following PDF gives a snapshot of the great body of work Mr. Abdullah has done with both reviews and video clips. He has a broad repertoire which includes the core classical repertoire, Verdi, Puccini, Czech Opera, Wagner, Strauss, and Contemporary Opera as well. He is one of the great conductors of his generation and has spent the last years honing his craft in a similar way to the great conductors of yesteryear.
