  • Mozart's World: The Last Symphonies

    Royal Festival Hall
    Feb 2026

    • Ticciati’s conducting style is exuberant and expansive, with a dance-like mime-artist approach to gesture and an almost romantic approach to interpretation.

  • Dialogues des Carmelites

    Wiener Staatsoper
    Nov 2025

    • Conductor Robin Ticciati masterfully and exuberantly navigated the changing and moody dynamics of the rich score, with confident and moving conducting making that music soar.

  • Symphonie Fantastique

    Heinz Hall
    Oct 2025

    • Tentative beginnings introduced a dreamlike trance, and Ticciati teased out the richness of the strings, favoring minimal vibrato. I was struck by his energetic conducting, nearly using his entire body as his baton danced along to the music.

  • BBC Proms

    Royal Albert Hall
    Sep 2025

    • Ticciati's conducting meant the orchestra melted into the vocals in the most exquisite manner.

  • Parsifal

    Glyndebourne Festival Opera
    May 2025 - Jun 2025

    • Robin Ticciati and the London Philharmonic Orchestra are back with an enthralling Parsifal that is well paced, beautifully balanced and with a palpable feel for Wagner’s many-layered, floating clouds of sound.

    • Conductor Robin Ticciati coaxes superbly detailed and supportive playing from the London Philharmonic Orchestra, woodwind especially beguiling.

  • Poulenc Double Bill: La Voix Humaines and Les Mamelles

    Glyndebourne Festival Opera

    • Ticciati and the London Philharmonic Orchestra relish every note.

  • Walton Viola Concerto & Brahms Symphony No. 4

    Barbican Centre

    • Robin Ticciati’s daringly prolonged upbeat to the opening phrase of the first movement heralded a reading of heartfelt empathy. Lovingly phrased and warmly expressive, it perhaps benefited from Ticciati’s recent engagement with Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde: certainly the long legato lines and richness of texture put one in mind of Brahms’s arch-rival

  • La damnation de Faust

    Glyndebourne Festival Opera

    • Ticciati, an exemplary Berliozian, conducts with great beauty and a keen sense of dramatic pace. The London Philharmonic play with refined sensuousness of detail, while the Glyndebourne Chorus, augmented for the occasion, sound terrific throughout

  • London Philharmonic Orchestra

    Royal Festival Hall

    • The Bruckner symphony was a transcendent experience. Ticciati, perhaps the most spiritual as well as naturally gifted of the younger conductors, drew playing of endlessly fascinating precision, ensured a marvellous blend at a marvellously adjusted pace, and, though he couldn’t be faulted for the sense of architectural cogency imparted, was at the same time supremely able to let the music breathe: an organism. It is, I think, Bruckner’s most perfect symphony, and this performance had me feeling it is his greatest.
