  • David W. Spiro Conductor
    David W. Spiro Conductor Critics have called the conducting of David W. Spiro thrilling, vibrant, extraordinary, dramatic, noble, incisive, and energetic. Maestro Spiro recently led performances of La Traviata and Tosca during his enthusiastically received return to Bulgaria. He also made a significant departure from his core repertoire with his first Wagner opera, Der Fliegende Holländer. This season also saw several other firsts. He conducted his first French opera, Bizet's Carmen, in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Prior to that, Ruse saw Spiro lead Tchaikovsky’s Eugene Onegin, as well as a return to Mozart with Don Giovanni. Previously, his Aida and Rigoletto at the Ruse State Opera were hugely successful. He celebrated the Verdi Bicentennial with Un Ballo in Maschera and La Traviata at the Teatro Mancinelli in Orvieto. Opera di Verona hosted Spiro leading the Mozart/da Ponte operas Don Giovanni, Cosi fan Tutte and Le Nozze di Figaro in three consecutive seasons. Earlier in the decade saw his La Boheme at the North Czech Opera and also his Romanian debut in Bucharest with his signature piece, La Traviata. The Albanian-American conductor made his mark by leading members of the Boston Symphony Orchestra in a tribute to his mentor, Leonard Bernstein. Rossini‘s Stabat Mater featured Edda Moser, D’anna Fortunato, Gregory Kunde and Jerome Hines and was hailed as “a tribute worthy of Bernstein”. Specifically, Maestro Spiro’s interpretation was hailed as “the closest thing to heaven.” (The Boston Globe) An electric performance of Cherubini‘s Medea for the Boston Festival Opera featured Sylvia Sass, Rita Gorr, Franco Bonanome and John Macurdy.
