He has also served as General Music Director at Theater Bremen from 2017 to 2022, and has since appeared regularly at the Vienna Staatsoper, Hamburg Staatsoper, and Bavarian Staatsoper. Upcoming engagements include \u201cFidelio\u201d at the Bavarian State Opera and Der Freisch\u00fctz at the Hamburg State Opera.<\/p>\n<p>Gamzou, who is also a composer, is expected to emphasize new commissions by Polish composers under his leadership.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTwo subjects that for me are very important. First of all, new music in general and new commissions. We are planning to commission new operas as often as possible, especially by Polish composers. I think an institution should always not only reproduce the masterpieces of the past but always give platform for new creations,\u201d he said, per an official press release.\u00a0\u201cAnother subject which is crucially important for a Music Director is of course the orchestra. Ultimately, the reason for me to come here was the concert we did together and the wonderful relationship with your orchestra. It\u2019s such an excellent group of musicians you have here.\u00a0I am really looking forward to working with them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The conductor, who grew up in New York, London, and Tel Aviv, was the last student of Carlo Maria Giulini.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read Related Stories<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source operawire.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Teatr Wielki \u2013 Polish National Opera has appointed Yoel Gamzou as Music Director beginning with the 2026-27 season.
