Matthias Fletzberger (born in 1965 in Vienna) is a talented Austrian conductor and pianist specializing in classical music.
Fletzberger, born in Vienna, began his musical education at an early age, enrolling at the Vienna University of Music and Performing Arts at the age of 5. At 12, he won the Austrian youth competition "Jugend musiziert" and entered Hans Graf's class, where he graduated with honors. Among his teachers were masters such as Bruno Seidlhof, Tatiana Nikolayeva, Jacques Rouvier, Nicole Henriot-Schweitzer, and Leon Fleisher. As a student, he also won awards at several international piano competitions, including Busoni, Rubinstein, and Bösendorfer.
On the recommendation of renowned musicians Rolf Liebermann and Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, Fletzberger began his career as an opera conductor. He worked as a répétiteur in Salzburg and at the Prague State Opera, and held the position of musical director at the Vienna Festival and conductor at the St. Gallen Theater. Shortly after serving as the general director of the Sofiensaal, the oldest and largest cultural venue in Vienna, where he curated an extensive program of opera and musical events, he decided to return to classical music.
Since 2008, Fletzberger has been actively performing again as a conductor and pianist (both as a soloist and accompanist). In 2011, Deutsche Grammophon released his CD/DVD album "Violin in Motion," featuring arrangements of famous ballets created by him and Lydia Baich. His conducting debut in North America took place in January 2013 during the "Greetings from Vienna" concerts in Montreal and Quebec.
In 2017 and 2018, together with theater and film producer Selcuk Kara, he developed the concept for the opera "The Charm of Wagner," which was first presented in Prague in collaboration with the National Theatre in October 2018. From 2018 to 2020, Fletzberger was the conductor of the first South Korean production of Wagner's "Ring of the Nibelung" at the Seoul Arts Center, directed by Achim Freyer.
