Thiago Tiberio
A sensitive, precise, energetic talent with a budding international career, maestro Thiago Tiberio is often praised by his peers for mature musicianship, clarity of expression, and accurate technique.
A multifaceted musician, his classical, operatic, and film music career includes work with orchestras in the United States, Canada, Italy, Germany, United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, Turkey, Australia, South Korea, Japan, Brazil, and Argentina, to name a few.
Working extensively in live-to-picture synchronization concerts, Mr. Tiberio has premiered Star Wars in Concert in France, Portugal, Brazil, and Argentina; Coco in Concert in the United States; The Sound of Magic and Fantasia in Italy; Beauty and the Beast in Georgia; Lion King and Toy Story in Qatar; Cinema Paradiso in Switzerland and Taiwan; and La La Land in Turkey and China.
He has also conducted concert world premières of his own adaptations of Paddington (England), How the Grinch Stole Christmas and Grease (United States), Call Me By Your Name (Korea), and Cinema Paradiso and Love Actually (Japan). And as arranger and orchestrator, he assisted in the world premières of Get Out and Coraline (United States), Hunger Games (Switzerland), and The Nutcracker and the Mouse King (Scotland).
Mr. Tiberio’s stage work include orchestration, synchronization, music direction, and conducting of world- and country-premières of Magia y Sinfonía (2022) and Disney 100 (2023) for Disney Latin America. Both shows include live-to-picture synchronization of large, complex orchestras with casts of singers, dancers, acrobats, and Disney characters, opera-quality staging and props, 4D effects such as projection mapping, fog, fire and CO2 canons, snow, and confetti, and even some light acting in Spanish and English! Starting in Argentina at Teatro Colón, he presented these shows in Mexico, Uruguay, Chile, Ecuador, Panama, Peru, and Puerto Rico, always to great acclaim. These follow his work as music director of La Traviata and The Flying Dutchman (Bulgaria) after having worked as assistant conductor to John Mauceri in Turandot and Les Vêpres Siciliennes (Spain). A mild opera fanatic, he is often seen attending dress rehearsals at the MET Opera, in New York.
Finally, in the classical domain, his latest accolades include a concert of Shostakovich’s Tenth Symphony with Neojiba Youth Orchestra, hailed by critics as “genius”, and a concert with the Orquestra Sinfônica Nacional of Brazil which included the world-premiere of a new Critical Edition of Walter Burle Marx’s Fantasia Sobre o Thema do Hymno Nacional, as well as the first time in 40 years that his Symphony No. 3 was performed—marking the beginning of an extensive musical restoration project by the maestro. He also led the San Francisco Symphony in the American première of John Mauceri’s The Nutcracker and the Mouse King, with Alan Cumming as narrator.
