Bio

Alberto Zedda (1928–2017) was an Italian conductor renowned for his work in opera. Born in Milan, he specialized in the bel canto repertoire and became a leading authority on the operas of Rossini, conducting and editing many of the composer’s works. Throughout his career, Zedda held posts at major opera houses and festivals across Europe and the United States, and he served as artistic director of the Rossini Opera Festival in Pesaro. His recordings and scholarly editions have contributed significantly to the modern performance practice of 19th-century Italian opera.
