Biography

Vito Lattarulo is a complete musician.
As conductor or pianist, vocal accompanist or chamber musician, repetiteur or coach, his versatility and artistic honesty have always received high praise from both his colleagues and his audience.

Vito's holistic approach to life is evident also in his music-making. His philosophy is to treat everything as chamber music, from a simple and pure Lied to big and complex opera scenes. To him, mutual listening is not only a vital element of playing together but also a crucial aspect of harmonious social life.

During his years at Theater Orchester Biel Solothurn, he has conducted, among others, Madama Butterfly, Giovanna D’Arco, La Cenerentola, The merry widow, and La fille du régiment, having consistent success with public and critics alike.
His final symphonic concert with the Sinfonie Orchester Biel Solothurn, with music by Rossini, Strauß II, Mascagni, Ponchielli, and Dvořák, was no exception.

Vito is also co-founder of the Trio Fontaine, with which he recorded opus 1, a CD with music by Beethoven and Arensky. Their vast repertoire includes, among others, the complete cycle of Beethoven piano trios.

After obtaining his master's degree in piano with the highest mark at the Conservatory of his hometown Palermo, Italy, Vito moved to Vienna to study piano, chamber music, historical performance practice, and conducting at the University of Music and Performing Arts and the Music and Arts Private University. In this metropolitan city, he also developed his love for foreign languages. He speaks fluently Italian, English, German, and French.

Already during his studies, Vito was an active concert pianist and repetiteur at several opera productions. Among others, La straniera and Le nozze di Figaro, both at Theater an der Wien.
During the season 2021-2022, he was reinvited at this historic theatre. First, as solo repetiteur at the production of Catalani's La Wally, then as Studienleiter at the following production of Tosca.

In his free time, Vito is a passionate chess and billiard player and loves eating good food with friends.
