Following successful debuts in both opera houses and concerts halls across Europe and North America, British-American conductor Johann Stuckenbruck is fast establishing himself as an outstanding talent on the international stage. 

Stuckenbruck’s upcoming highlights for 2023/24 include multiple appearances as guest conductor with San Diego Symphony and Romanian Radio Chamber Orchestra, as well as a return collaboration with Bernard Labadie and Les Violons du Roi. Stuckenbruck’s close relationship with conductor Rafael Payare – which dates back to their 2019 collaboration on Glyndebourne’s Il barbiere di Siviglia – continues through 2024, with Stuckenbruck assisting on multiple projects with Orchestre Symphonique de Montreal. Having assisted Speranza Scappucci at the Opéra Royal de Wallonie last season, Johann will also work with her again at Paris Opéra Bastille later in the year on their upcoming production of Madama Butterfly. 

In 2022 Stuckenbruck conducted the world premiere of Glyndebourne’s commission Pay the Piper and returned to Glyndebourne more recently to assist music director Robin Ticciati on The Wreckers and the production’s subsequent performance at the BBC Proms in the world premiere of the opera’s original French libretto. He’s conducted Glyndebourne’s Don Pasquale on tour, Kurt Weill’s The Tsar Has his Photograph Taken at the Bloomsbury Theatre, and has assisted Leo McFall at Opera North on Turn of the Screw. Stuckenbruck assisted Robin Ticciati on Kát’a Kabanová at the 2021 Glyndebourne Festival as well as London Philharmonic Orchestra and Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment for Glyndebourne’s Festival Concert Series. He has additionally worked as assistant to Andriy Yurkevych on a production of Lucrezia Borgia at Opera de Tenerife and Lee Reynolds on VOpera’s award-winning recording of L’Enfant et les Sortilèges with the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
