Alessandro Carletti Light Designer www.alessandrocarletti.com @mail: [email protected] Alessandro Carletti was born in Rome. He studied photography and painting in order to be able to investigate light, a passion that comes from a family tradition. As a child he followed his father’s work in the productions of Carmelo Bene. He extended his development to television as a camera operator and then as assistant to Vincenzo Leoni. His last experience as Director of Photography was for Noutjoum El Ouloum, in Doha (Qatar). At the Rossini Opera Festival he consolidated his experience in opera thanks to the guidance of Mauro Brecciaroli. Meeting Guido Levi with whom he has collaborated on the design of numerous productions for directors like Yannis Kokkos, Franco Ripa Di Meana, Daniele Abbado, Giorgio Battistelli and Josef Francoli Lee has been fundamental to his career. Together they designed the lighting for the autobiografical opera of Silvano Bussotti, Sylvano Silvano, directed by Francesco Micheli. In 2009 he designed The Abduction from the Serraglio for the Teatro San Carlo in Naples directed by Damiano Michieletto with whom he has collaborated since 2008 with Jackie ‘O at Lugo and La Scala di Seta at the Rossini Opera Festival.
