The Italian conductor Andrea Alessandrini is currently Studienleiter and Kapellmeister at the Pfalztheater Kaiserslautern, a position he has held since the 2025/2026 season.
After completing his initial studies in piano and composition at the Rossini Conservatory in Pesaro, Alessandrini moved to Vienna in 2014 to focus on orchestral conducting at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna (mdw) under Johannes Wildner. He graduated in 2020, conducting the Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra (RSO Wien). His artistic development was further shaped by masterclasses and studies with Daniele Gatti at the Accademia Chigiana in Siena, as well as with Nicolas Pasquet, Andrés Orozco-Estrada, Ulrich Windfuhr and Marin Alsop.
Prior to his appointment in Kaiserslautern, Alessandrini served from 2022 as Assistant to General Music Director Gabriel Feltz and Repetiteur with conducting duties at Theater Dortmund. There, he assisted on Wagner’s Der Ring des Nibelungen and conducted an extensive repertoire, including La Traviata, Die Zauberflöte, Die Fledermaus, Orpheus in the Underworld, and Sweeney Todd. In 2025, he also temporarily held the position of Choirmaster at the Mittelsächsisches Theater Freiberg.
Earlier operatic engagements include work as a repetiteur for the Opera Studio of the Vienna State Opera, as well as engagements with the Angelika Prokopp Academy of the Vienna Philharmonic for a production of Don Giovanni (broadcast on ORF III and awarded the Österreichischer Musiktheaterpreis 2022) and productions at the Schönbrunn Palace Theatre in Vienna.
