 Thomas Rösner
Reviews
Thomas Rösner was born in Vienna and conducted his first orchestral concerts at the age of 14. He studied in Vienna, attending masterclasses by Ilya Musin, Myung-Whun Chung and Hans Graf.
It was Fabio Luisi who invited Rösner, at a day’s notice, to conduct on a tour of the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, which marked the real beginning of his international conducting career. Since then, he has conducted more than 50 orchestras on four continents, including the Deutsches Sinfonieorchester Berlin, the Vienna, Bamberg and Hamburg Symphony Orchestras, Houston Symphony, Tokyo Symphony Orchestra, the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, Bergen and Calgary Philharmonic Orchestras, the MDR Leipzig, Orchestre Capitole de Toulouse, Orchestre National de Bordeaux, Salzburg Mozarteum Orchestra and the Lausanne Chamber Orchestra.
Since autumn 2005, Thomas Rösner has been the chief conductor of the Orchestre Symphonique Bienne in Switzerland. Together with this orchestra, he has embarked on an extensive series of concerts that has seen them invited to the Carinthian Summer Festival in Austria, the World Economic Forum in Davos, the Berne Music Festival or the Basle Martinů Festival.
He has also conducted at renowned opera houses: at the Glyndebourne Festival, Bavarian State Opera, Semperoper Dresden, Deutsche Oper Berlin, Bregenz Festival, Welsh National Opera, Théâtre du Châtelet Paris, Edinburgh International Festival, Opéra National de Lyon, Opera di Roma, New National Theatre Tokyo and in Nantes, Marseille and Bordeaux.
Thomas Rösner has enjoyed a particularly close relationship with the Grand Théâtre in Geneva, where he has conducted four new productions in recent years, including Die Fledermaus and a double bill of Bluebeard’s Castle and The Miraculous Mandarin by Bartók that was rapturously received.
In the current season Thomas Rösner’s opera engagements include Lucio Silla at the Opera Nantes/Angers and the first French production of Hindemith’s Neues vom Tage in Dijon.
His upcoming projects include a new production of Die Fledermaus at the Welsh National Opera, Die lustige Witwe at the Opera National Lorraine in Nancy, La Somnanbula at St Gallen as well as concerts with the Wiener Concertverein at the Musikverein in Vienna, the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, Israel Sinfonietta, Brandenburgisches Staatsorchester Frankfurt and recordings with the Bamberger Symphoniker.
Thomas Rösner’s recordings include Il Trovatore with the Vienna Symphony Orchestra on DVD for Opus Arte, Janáček’s Glagolitic Mass for Columna Musica and various CDs with the Orchestre Symphonique Bienne for ATMA and Guildmusic. He has also recorded for the BBC, ORF, DRS and Bavarian Radio.
