BIO

Named by the press as “the baton of new times”, Lara Diloy has consolidated her position as a leading conductor of her generation.

With a wide knowledge of the symphonic and lyric repertoire, she is guest conductor of orchestras such as the Bilbao Orkestra Sinfonikoa, Orquesta Sinfónica del Principado de Asturias, Orquesta Sinfónica de Radio Televisión Española, Orquesta Sinfónica de Madrid, Orquesta Filarmónica de Gran Canaria, Oviedo Filarmonía, Orquesta de la Comunidad de Madrid, Orquesta Filarmónica de Málaga, Orquesta de Extremadura, Orquesta de Córdoba, Joven Orquesta Nacional de España, Sistema Europe Young Orchestra (SEYO), Joven Orquesta de la Comunidad de Madrid (JORCAM), Orquesta Vigo430, Barbieri Symphony Orchestra, and Bilbao Sinfonietta. She collaborates on operatic productions and concerts with the Orquesta Sinfónica de Euskadi, Orquestra de la Comunitat Valenciana, Orquestra del Gran Teatre del Liceu, Real Orquesta Sinfónica de Sevilla, Orquesta de Navarra, and Orquestra Simfònica de les Illes Balears.

In the lyric field, she has conducted titles at the Teatro de la Zarzuela such as Don Gil de Alcalá, El año pasado por agua, El bateo and La Revoltosa, and was invited to conduct in the season of Ópera de Oviedo for the Gala celebrating its 75th Anniversary. She also participates in other programmes such as those of the Teatro de la Maestranza, ABAO-Txiki, Festival Little Opera Zamora, Temporada Lírica de Burgos or Opus Lírica, conducting classical titles such as Orfeo y Eurídice, Carmen, La Traviata, Die Schauspieldirektor or L’elisir d’amore, and premieres such as Lazarillo by David del Puerto.

Among her most notable engagements this season are the musical direction of La Traviata at the Auditorio Maestro Padilla in Almería and Jugar con fuego at the Teatro de la Zarzuela.

The young Lara Diloy led Penella’s string orchestra for this score, making the Valencian musician’s notes ring out from the very orchestral prelude with all their charm and evanescence, as the different sections shone smoothly with deep, deep bass strings.
