Press feature on my career

I will be directing a brand new production of Gluck’s Orphée et Eurydice for Seattle Opera in its 2011-12 season.

Excerpt:

“The pace throughout the performance was sure and light, ever springing forward, thanks to the deft hand of stage director Jose Maria Condemi, known for his excellent work with California regional companies and now increasingly busy with top-tier productions like this one. His touch was everywhere: i.e. the simple bow with which Butterfly and Suzuki say goodbye before the suicide”

Just returned from Seattle where I had very productive meetings for a new production I am doing in the 2011-12 season. I cannot yet disclose the title but it is one I am very excited about as it will my second time tackling it. Also thrilled about my collaborators! More to come.
