Thaddeus Strassberger, the first prize winner of the 2005 European Opera Directing Prize, has directed and designed new productions of LA CENERENTOLA (Opera Ireland, Hessisches Staatstheater Wiesbaden), Ambroise Thomas' HAMLET, and AIDA (Lyric Opera of Kansas City), ORFEO ED EURIDICE (Theater Augsburg), LA TRAVIATA (Arizona Opera), ARIADNE AUF NAXOS (Wolftrap Opera), LA FANCIULLA DEL WEST (l'Opéra de Montréal) and of the rarely-heard LA GAZZETTA (Rossini in Wildbad Festival, Germany) which was nominated for both Best Direction and Best Production by Opernwelt Magazine in 2007. His widely-acclaimed DIE ZAUBERFLÖTE has been produced by Utah Opera, Madison Opera, and the Arizona Opera. In 2009-2010, new productions included LES HUGUENOTS (Bard Summer Festival) as well as company debuts with the Norwegian National Opera with a new production of LE NOZZE DI FIGARO, Washington National Opera with HAMLET conducted by Placido Domingo. In 2010-2010, his production of FIGARO returns to Oslo for a new run with a new cast, and he debuts with FIDELIO at Opera Boston, and will create an entirely new production of LA FANCIULLA DEL WEST for the Tiroler Landestheater in Innsbruck, Austria. He returns to the Norwegian National Opera for a new production of THE RAPE OF LUCRETIA as well. As an assistant director, Strassberger has worked with the Teatro di San Carlo in Naples, Teatro la Fenice in Venice, the Teatro Lirico in Cagliari, Sardegna and the Badisches Staatstheater in Karlsruhe. In the USA, he has worked for the Houston Grand Opera, Pittsburgh Opera, Michigan Opera Theatre, Santa Fe Opera and Opera Colorado among others. Strassberger received his degree from The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art in New York City and further studies were supported by a Fulbright Fellowship to complete the Corso di Specializzazione per Scenografi Realizzatori at Teatro alla Scala in Milan in 2001.
