In a statement, General and Artistic Director Stefano Pace said, “I am truly delighted to continue this fruitful collaboration with Giampaolo Bisanti. His rigour, theatrical sense, musical generosity and unwavering dedication are major assets for our institution and make him an invaluable artistic partner.”
Bisanti added, “I am deeply honoured by the renewal of my mandate, which moves me as much as it motivates me. The Opéra Royal de Wallonie-Liège has become a true artistic home, where I feel supported, inspired, and artistically challenged with every production. I look forward to continuing this shared journey and to taking on the artistic challenges ahead. I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to the Orchestra and Chorus for their talent, discipline, and musical sensitivity, which are a constant source of inspiration. A very special thank you to Denis Segond, whose remarkable leadership of the Chorus enhances our shared musical vision season after season. I look forward to continuing, with all the artistic and technical teams, an operatic journey worthy of this great house and its audience.”
Since Bisanti began his tenure, the company’s Orchestra has reached a widely recognized level of excellence, while the Chorus, under the direction of Denis Segond, continues to demonstrate season after season its exceptional artistic quality. This season, the company will open with a production of “Faust” with John Osborn (Faust), Erwin Schrott (Méphistophélès), Nino Machaidze (Marguerite), alongside Markus Werba, Elmina Hasan, Ivan Thirion, and Julie Bailly.
