Biography

Rustioni was born in Milan, and studied piano, organ, and composition at the Milan Conservatory. He sang in the boys choir of the Teatro alla Scala in his youth.[1] He studied cello for 3 years, and later piano and organ.[2]

Rustioni studied conducting under Gilberto Serembe at the Milan Conservatory and under Gianluigi Gelmetti at the Accademia Musicale Chigiana. Whilst at the Royal Academy of Music in London, his mentors included Gianandrea Noseda, who gave him the opportunity to make his debut as a conductor with the orchestra of the Teatro Regio in Turin in 2007. For 2008–2009, Rustioni was a Jette Parker Young Artist at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. He then became an assistant conductor to Antonio Pappano at Covent Garden, and served in the post for 3 years.[3] Rustioni made his U.S. debut in July 2011 conducting Cherubini's Médée at the Glimmerglass Festival.

Rustioni became principal guest conductor of the Orchestra della Toscana in 2011. In June 2014, Rustioni became the orchestra's principal conductor. He stood down as the orchestra's principal conductor at the close of the 2019–2020 season.[4] He retains his post as artistic director of the orchestra.[5]

In March 2015, the Opéra national de Lyon announced the appointment of Rustioni as its next principal conductor, effective September 2017.[6] In January 2019, the Ulster Orchestra announced the appointment of Rustioni as its next chief conductor, effective September 2019,[7] following 3 prior appearances as guest conductor with the orchestra.[8]

Rustioni is married to the Italian-American violinist Francesca Dego.[2] The couple have together recorded violin concertos of Paganini and Wolf-Ferrari for Deutsche Grammophon, where the recording of the Wolf-Ferrari violin concerto was taken from the UK premiere performance in Birmingham, with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra.[9] For Sony Classical, Rustioni has recorded music of Giorgio Federico Ghedini,[10] and an album of opera arias with Erwin Schrott.
