Mattias Böhm is engaged at Operan as a repetiteur, but also conducts. A repetiteur is someone who rehearses with the singers at the keyboard, in preparation for rehearsals with orchestra and conductor – a sort of link between conductor and soloists before they meet face to face. The dialogue between repetiteur and conductor is important, as the repetiteur must convey the conductor’s musical vision to the singers. Mattias Böhm’s most recent appearance on the podium was Short Stories III (2022). Prior to that he conducted The Performance (Föreställningen) in 2019 and a number of Young Opera productions: My Brother is Don Juan (Min bror är Don Juan), Dido and Aeneas, The Way Back Home (Vägen hem), When, then? (När då då) and Orlando. In Julius Caesar, Mattias Böhm is once again leading a Royal Swedish Orchestra chamber ensemble in an exciting new Young Opera production on the Rotundan stage.
