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 Filarmónica de Gran Canaria, Oviedo Filarmonía, Orquesta de la Comunidad de Madrid, Orquesta de Córdoba, Joven Orquesta Nacional de España, Sistema Europe Young Orchestra (SEYO), Joven Orquesta de la Comunidad de Madrid, Orquesta Vigo430, Barbieri Symphony Orchestra or Bilbao Sinfonietta. She works in lyrical 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 or Orquestra Simfònica de les Illes Balears.

In the lyric field, she conducts Don Gil de Alcalá and El año pasado por agua at the Teatro de la Zarzuela, and is 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, Temporada Lírica de Burgos or Opus Lírica, conducting classical titles such as Orfeo y Eurídice, Carmen, La Traviata or L’elisir d’amore, and premieres such as Lazarillo by David del Puerto.

She has also worked as assistant in numerous opera productions with maestros such as Yves Abel, Corrado Rovaris, Gianluca Marcianò, Daniele Callegari, Óliver Díaz, Sesto Quatrini, Ramón Tebar, Nuno Coelho, Miguel Ángel Gómez Martínez, Iván López-Reynoso and Lucas Macías.

Among her most outstanding engagements this season are her debut with the Orquesta Sinfónica de Madrid and the Orquesta de Extremadura, and the musical direction of El bateo and La revoltosa 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.
