Recap of 2024!
31.12.2024
2024 was an extraordinary and truly transformative year in my career, marked by a remarkable variety of productions, international events, and artistic collaborations. I had the privilege to serve as Lead Stage Manager for the UEFA EURO 2024 pre-match ceremonies in Munich and Stuttgart—an exciting large-scale project that strengthened my leadership and coordination skills in a high-pressure environment. I also worked on major cultural productions such as Don Pasquale for the Donizetti Opera Festival, Bianca e Falliero at the Rossini Opera Festival, and the Voci Verdiane International Competition in Busseto with Teatro Regio di Parma. My year also included significant international experiences, including the Saudi Games 2024 Opening Ceremony in Riyadh with Lab 2580, the Naming Ceremony of MSC Explora II, and the Mastercard Leadership Meeting in Rome. Each of these projects challenged me, expanded my expertise across different formats: opera, ceremonies, concerts, festivals, and confirmed 2024 as one of the most important and rewarding years of my professional journey.
A 2022 to remember..
31.12.2022
2022 was an incredibly significant year for me, marked by six diverse and exciting productions. I had the opportunity to work on La cambiale di matrimonio in Oman and La gazzetta with the Rossini Opera Festival, manage dynamic international events such as Ghost, el Musical in Valencia and Tick, Tick… BOOM! on its Italian tour, and contribute to major live experiences like the Lucca Comics & Games global pre-show and the Coloplast Convention in Milan. I was also proud to support the European tour (Italy, Austria and Serbia) of CrossOpera as Stage & Production Manager. These projects strengthened my skills, broadened my perspective, and made 2022 a truly defining year in my professional journey.

I also had the opportunity to return to Dublin as Assistant Stage Manager for Der Rosenkavalier with Irish National Opera. This intense and rewarding year reaffirmed my passion for live performance and production, and allowed me to grow both technically and artistically
