After studying at the State Music Academy in Donetsk and completing his master’s degree at the National Music Academy of Ukraine, Ukrainian baritone Danylo Matviienko joined the Opera Studio of Oper Frankfurt. In Paris he has appeared in Boesmans’ Reigen, as Dr. Falke in Die Fledermaus, and as the Hunter in Rusalka. His roles at the National Music Academy of Ukraine, the National Operetta Theatre of Kyiv, and Kyiv Opera have included Count Danilo (The Merry Widow), Onegin (Eugene Onegin), Rossini’s Figaro (Il barbiere di Siviglia), Macrobio (La pietra del paragone), Germano (La scala di seta), and Gasparo (Rita).
At Oper Frankfurt he has performed in Křenek’s Schwergewicht, Fauré’s Pénélope, Don Carlo, and in new productions of Rossini’s La gazzetta and Richard Strauss’s Salome. He has also given numerous recitals and appeared in concert, singing Handel’s Messiah with the Kyiv Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, Duruflé’s Requiem with the Sofia Chamber Choir of Kyiv, and Sviridov’s Piesni bezvremenia with the Chorus of the National Music Academy of Ukraine.
Matviienko has won second prize at both the Antonina Campi International Vocal Competition in Lublin and the Ada Sari International Vocal Competition in Nowy Sącz, and in 2018 he was a prizewinner at the Concours Reine Elisabeth in Brussels.
L’Ensemble nasce nel 2003 grazie a un progetto di Luigi Azzolini (il quale, fin dalla sua costituzione, lo prepara e lo dirige), ponendosi come obiettivo lo studio e la valorizzazione di composizioni corali moderne e contemporanee per lo più inedite, e la riscoperta di pagine classiche poco frequentate. Nel 2003 collabora al progetto di riscoperta e valorizzazione di alcune Messe e Vespri di Mathias Ploner, compositore trentino del periodo classico; a seguire propone le Liriche greche di Maderna nell’ambito del Festival Musica Novecento di Trento. Nell’estate del 2006 gli è stata affidata la prima assoluta di Vijidaes (Battistelli). Tra le altre, si ricorda l’esecuzione del Requiem di Verdi sotto la direzione del M° Gustav Kuhn; l’inaugurazione del Festival di Musica Sacra con il Trionfo del Tempo e della Verità di Händel a Bolzano e Trento; il Messiah di Händel con l’Orchestra Haydn di Trento e Bolzano; l’esecuzione sempre del Messiah, della Messa di Gloria (Puccini) e dell’Adelia (Donizetti) all’Alto Adige Festival di Dobbiaco, sempre sotto la direzione di Kuhn. Presente più volte all’interno della Stagione Sinfonica dell’Orchestra Haydn, ha presentato con essa la ripresa dei Canti Rocciosi di Sollima, con l’orchestra diretta nell’occasione dal M° Azzolini stesso. Per il Festival Transart, ha proposto e registrato lo scorso settembre con l’Orchestra Haydn il Requiem di Silvia Colasanti. Numerose le incisioni discografiche, molte di opere in prima esecuzione assoluta.
The Haydn Orchestra was founded in 1960 at the initiative of the municipalities and provinces of Bolzano and Trento. Its repertoire ranges from the Baroque to contemporary music. The orchestra has taken part in numerous international festivals, appearing in Austria (in Bregenz, Erl, at the Mozarteum in Salzburg and the Musikverein in Vienna), Germany, Japan, Italy (at the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, the Sagra Musicale Umbra in Perugia, the Rossini Opera Festival in Pesaro, Anima Mundi in Pisa, MiTo SettembreMusica in Turin, and the Biennale Musica in Venice), the United States of America, Switzerland, and Hungary.
Among the conductors who have appeared on its podium are, among others, Claudio Abbado, Riccardo Chailly, Jesús López-Cobos, Neville Marriner, Riccardo Muti, and Jeffrey Tate. After the nearly thirty-year tenure of Andrea Mascagni, the role of Artistic Director has been held by Hubert Stuppner, Gustav Kuhn, Daniele Spini, Giorgio Battistelli, and André Comploi (from 2025).
