Rising Belgian-American conductor Giulio Cilona is the recipient of the 10th Ernst von Schuch Conducting Prize (2024), awarded at the Semperoper Dresden, and prize winner of the 2022 International Opera Conducting Competition at the Opéra Royal de Wallonie. He has served as Kapellmeister at the Deutsche Oper Berlin and as Principal Guest Conductor at the Opéra National de Lorraine in Nancy. His recent debuts with the Konzerthausorchester Berlin, Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale della RAI, Orchestre National du Capitole de Toulouse, Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra, as well as at the Rossini Opera Festival, Norwegian National Opera (Oslo), Opéra de Lyon, Oper Köln, Semperoper Dresden, the Royal Danish Opera (Copenhagen) have been met with remarkable critical and public acclaim. In April 2025, he achieved notable success stepping in at short notice for Fabio Luisi with the Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale della RAI, conducting Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No. 3 and Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5, returning only weeks after his debut with the orchestra. The 2026–2027 season will see his return to the Opéra National de Lorraine with a new production of Verdi’s Otello, as well as his debut with the Orchestre Philharmonique du Luxembourg conducting the same work. He will also conduct symphonic concerts at Opéra de Lyon, with the Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale della RAI in Turin, the Haydn Orchestra in Bolzano, the Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano among others. He will make his debut at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam conducting Fausto by Louis Bertin in concert, as well as at the Opéra de Paris with a gala concert. He will then return to the Norwegian National Opera with Verdi’s Otello, he will make his debut at Opera de Las Palmas conducting Faust and conduct two new productions in Germany: Leonora by Paer at the Semperoper Dresden and a new production of Madama Butterfly at Oper Köln. He will also make his debut at Teatro alla Scala with Il barbiere di Siviglia. The 2025–2026 season has seen his debuts at the Opéra de Lyon (Louise by Charpentier), Opéra de Lausanne (Rigoletto), and symphonic concerts with the Staatskapelle Weimar, Orchestre Philharmonique Royal de Liège, and the Orchestra del Teatro Regio di Torino at the MITO Festival, as well as return engagements with the Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale della RAI in Turin, Oper Köln (Hänsel und Gretel), Semperoper Dresden (Don Giovanni and Die Zauberflöte), and Deutsche Oper Berlin (Gianni Schicchi and Suor Angelica). Among the highlights of the season is Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 2, which he will conduct from the keyboard with the Orchestre de l’Opéra de Rouen Normandie on period instruments. At the Deutsche Oper Berlin, Cilona has conducted a wide-ranging repertoire including Der fliegende Holländer, Puccini’s Il trittico, Turandot, La Gioconda, La bohème, Rigoletto, Carmen, La traviata, Il viaggio a Reims, Il barbiere di Siviglia, Le nozze di Figaro, Die Zauberflöte, and the Richard Wagner Gala. His repeated collaborations with the Opéra National de Lorraine in Don Pasquale, La cenerentola, and Mahler’s Symphony No. 5 were equally acclaimed by audiences and critics. Past engagements include symphonic concerts at the Teatro Verdi in Trieste and with the Orchestre National des Pays de la Loire, as well as opera productions at the Opéra Royal de Wallonie and Staatstheater Mainz, and a highly acclaimed Il barbiere di Siviglia at the Teatro Alighieri in Ravenna. Following this production, he was named “Revelation 2024” by Italian critic Pierachille Dolfini.
