Hey there! Do you know that you could be working one-on-one with Thaddeus Strassberge? (Director and Designer)
Thaddeus Strassberger won the European Opera Prize, and earned a degree in Engineering from The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art in New York City; he received a Fulbright Fellowship to complete the Corso di Specializzazione per Scenografi Realizzatori at Teatro alla Scala in Milan in 2001.
Thaddeus Strassberger made his debut The Royal Opera House Covent Garden with I DUE FOSCARI starring Plácido Domingo, who also appears in his widely-acclaimed staging of NABUCCO, which was first seen at the Washington National Opera.
He recently directed and designed the world premiere production of the opera JFK by David T. Little and Royce Vavrek for Fort Worth Opera and l'Opera de Montreal and GLARE by Søren Nils Eichberg at Covent Garden.
His production for the Ekaterinburg State Academic Opera, SATYAGRAHA, the first ever production of a Philip Glass opera in Russia won the 2014 Bravo Award for Best Production in the Sverdlovsk Region and was nominated in five categories, including Best Production and Best Director, for the 2016 Golden Mask Award, Russia's most prestigious performing arts award. The production was seen at the Golden Mask Festival on the New Stage of the Bolshoi Opera in Moscow in Spring 2016 and was awarded two Golden Mask Awards -- Critic's Choice for Best Production and Best Chorus. He returned to Ekaterinburg in 2016 to direct and design the Russian staged premiere of Weinberg’s THE PASSENGER, which is also a co-operation with the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow, and next directs Bohuslav Martinu's A GREEK PASSION in a new Russian translation.
