ALBERTO ALLEGREZZA is a singer, a musician, a director and an actor.
Both as a singer and as an instrumentalist, he has worked together with some of the most well-known interpreters of the Early Music scene, such as Accademia Bizantina (dir. Ottavio Dantone), La Cetra Barockorchester (dir. Andrea Marcon), Auser Musici (dir. Carlo Ipata), Cappella musicale di S. Petronio (dir. Michele Vannelli), Concerto Romano (dir. Alessandro Quarta), La Venexiana (dir. Claudio Cavina), Modo Antiquo (dir. Bettina Hoffmann and Federico Maria Sardelli), Odhecaton (dir. Paolo Da Col) and he has taken part in the activity of internationally known institutions like the Innsbrucker Festwochen der Alten Musik, Teatro alla Scala in Milano, the Festival de La Chaise-Dieu, the “Scenes de Pays” Festival in Mauges, Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, Ravenna Festival, MiTo Milano and Torino Festival, Festival C. Monteverdi in Cremona, Opera Barga, “O Flos colende” Festival in Florence, Osterfestival Tirol in Innsbruck.
He is a scholar of the codified gestures in late Renaissance and early Baroque theatre. Just like Commedia dell’arte actors in the early times, he is engaged in multiple forms of performances. He founded Dramatodía, a company of musicians and actors with whom he recreates performances based on early texts, where the music of the Renaissance and Baroque periods finds its theatrical and scenographic identity.
He has been invited to teach “Early Theatre Gestures in Performance” for many Italian and foreign Conservatories and for the baroque opera laboratories in Bazzano (BO), within the framework of “Corti, Chiese e Cortili” music festival, where he staged L’Incoronazione di Poppea and Il Ritorno di Ulisse in Patria by Claudio Monteverdi, Il Trionfo di Camilla by Giovanni Bononcini, La catena di Adone by Domenico Mazzocchi. In 2022, Alberto oversaw the designs of sets and costumes, and he directed the opera L’Amazzone corsara by C. Pallavicino for the Innsbrucker Festwochen der Alten Musik.
He recorded for Arts, Dynamic, Glossa, Naxos, Sony and Tactus.
