Biz news: Three directors quit Italian opera agency
mainWe hear that three board directors of Atelier Musicale – Markus Laska, Serena Marchi and Silvia Paolucci – have left the company to open a new agency, called Melos Opera.
Their artists include the Dallas music director Emmanuel Vuillaume, the tenor Ramon Vargas (pictured) and the bass Giovanni Furlanetto.
Atelier Musicale continues under president Virginio Fedeli. Its website is ‘under construction’.
Giovanni Furlanetto or Ferruccio Furlanetto?
Mira, o Norma.
Giovanni.
I’m wondering if Norman highlighted him because of his more famous namesake.
There are many more well-known artists on this agency’s roster than Giovanni Furlanetto.
Behind the ball here. They left back in July. But yes, their new company’s website is live now.
Uninteresting news. Also, I’ve heard other things: they were asked to leave (thrown out?) the agency for a very serious reason of mismanagement.
Mr. “Peter Grimes” is not well informed. There has been a official division of all existing contracts and artists at a notary. Agents which are asked to leave or are thrown out, normally are not legally allowed to take contracts with them.
In any case the many artists who have followed the branch seem to have enjoyed the “mismanagement” till now.
