Bio
Composer, pianist and conductor, Damiano Davide’s vision is wide and covers many musical genres.
His classical training at the Conservatory of Naples, Italy, has been long, significant and serious. After several academic recognitions, including prizes and scolarships for his composing career, he gets fascinated with Opera and begins working as a pianist and conductor in Opera Houses all across the country.
He has worked in Teatro Comunale Bologna, Teatro Massimo Bellini di Catania, Teatro Regio Parma, Teatro comunale Bolzano, Teatro Petruzzelli di Bari and more, and he has worked as an assistant or repetiteur with conductors and directors such as Gelmetti, Severini, Carminati, Domingo, Livermore, Pizzi, Nucci, Muscato, Ferretti.
In 2018 he has made his operatic debut conducting “V. Bellini – La Sonnambula” at the Teatro Mancinelli in Orvieto. Since then his opera repertoire has grown, including now more than twenty titles, with a specific interest towards the music of Bellini and Verdi.
As a composer his music bridges the elegance of classical tradition with the emotional depth of contemporary minimalism.
His sound world is defined by purity of form, lyrical restraint, and a fascination with silence as a living element of musical expression. Davide’s works — including Mirror, Formae, Duo (with violinist Lino Cannavacciuolo), and the Nostos cycle — explore the dialogue between structure and emotion, order and freedom.
His collaboration with cellist Cecilia Costanzo in Musica dal Silenzio deepens this search, transforming introspection into sound.
Having performed and conducted in major Italian theaters, Davide continues to expand the boundaries between composition, performance, and sound design.
AUDITORIUM, released in 2025 and recorded at the historic studio “Auditorium Novecento” in Naples, is the deeply intimate and reflective musical synthesis of his solo piano project with INRI CLASSIC.
Balancing tradition and innovation, Damiano Davide stands out as one of the new voices of the modern post-classical scene.
