Opera På Skäret
“The Swedish Chamber Orchestra perform sonorous and magnificent music under the direction of conductor Lorenzo Coladonato. The soundscape is balanced and tasteful, and the shifts and intensity of the music are superbly conveyed. Coladonato is extremely present, and binds together the stage and the orchestra pit with subtlety and great artistry.”
Kristina Kleinert / The Epoch Times
Don Carlo / Verdi
Immling Festival
“Verdi’s music from the hand of Lorenzo Coladonato is all the more glowing. The conductor, trained in Milan, draws a remarkably beautiful sound from the Immling festival orchestra, delivering optimal tempos and the ideal balance for the extremely exposed soloists.”
