Biography
Born in Vienna he was accepted at the age of 5 as a student of the University of Music Vienna.
By recommendation of Rolf Liebermann and Elisabeth Schwarzkopf Fletzberger started a second career as an opera conductor. He worked as assistant conductor in Salzburg (”Figaro“ staged by Peter Ustinov), at the Prague State Opera, as musical director of opera productions at the Vienna Festival and as conductor at the Theater St. Gallen until 2000. Following several years as general manager of the Sofiensäle - Vienna’s oldest and largest venue for cultural events – where he presented a broadly varied programme of opera, musical and theatre presentations, as well as galas, incentives, parties and clubbing events he decided to return to the classical music scene.
Since 2009 Fletzberger started his comeback as a classical pianist with solo-recitals and as chambermusic-partner of the Austrian/Russian violinist Lidia Baich, as well as a conductor in concert and opera. In 2011 Deutsche Grammophon released the CD/DVD Album Violin in Motion featuring arrangements of famous ballet-music by Lidia Baich and Matthias Fletzberger. His north-American debut as a conductor was in January 2013 within the "Salute to Vienna" concert series in Montreal and Quebec.
