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 recent highlights from 2021/22 include multiple appearances with San Diego Symphony and conducting the world premiere of Glyndebourne’s latest commission Pay the Piper, composed by an all-female team comprising Ninfea Cruttwell-Reade, Anna Appleby, Cecilia Livingston and Ailie Robertson to a libretto by Hazel Gould. More recently, Stuckenbruck returned to Glyndebourne to assist music director Robin Ticciati on The Wreckers in their 2022 Festival and the production’s subsequent performance at the BBC Proms, constituting the world premiere of the opera’s original French libretto. Stuckenbruck’s close relationship with conductor Rafael Payare – which dates back to their 2019 collaboration on Glyndebourne’s Il barbiere di Siviglia – continues through 2022, with Stuckenbruck assisting on multiple projects with Orchestre Symphonique de Montreal both in Canada and on tour in the Far East.
In the concert hall, Stuckenbruck’s featured engagements have included conducting The Hallé, Royal Northern Sinfonia, Orchestre Victor Hugo Franche-Comté, Salomon Orchestra, and Royal Academy of Music Symphony Orchestra. In addition, Stuckenbruck has assisted Sir Mark Elder with The Hallé on numerous concerts including La Damnation de Faust at the Edinburgh Festival. Further afield, he has worked with Mathieu Herzog and the Blaricum Festival Orchestra, conducted the Campos do Jordão Festival Orchestra at the Sala São Paulo, and covered concerts for Rafael Payare with San Diego Symphony.
