Nathalie

Music Director of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra

Nathalie Stutzmann is the Music Director of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and the second woman in history to lead a major American orchestra. She was Principal Guest Conductor of the Philadelphia Orchestra from 2021-2024.

Nathalie made her spectacular debut at the 2023 Bayreuth Festival with Wagner’s Tannhäuser, BR Klassik observed having “never experienced such a standing ovation at a pit debut in Bayreuth”, with Oper Magazin describing her as a true possessor of “the Bayreuth gene”. The performances resulted in her being named ‘Best Conductor’ of the year in the 2024 Oper! Awards, and she returned in 2024 for a revival of the production that saw the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung describe her as “ …a genius who makes the music irresistible”. She returns to Bayreuth to mark the 150th anniversary of the Festival in 2026, conducting a new production of Rienzi in addition to the revival of Tannhäuser.
Her opera debut at the Metropolitan Opera in 2023 was declared by the New York Times as “the coup of the year”.

The 24-25 season with Atlanta Symphony features key pillars of the romantic repertoire including Bruckner Symphony no. 4, Mahler Symphony no. 1 and Strauss Eine Alpensinfonie, alongside a complete Beethoven Symphony cycle and the Missa Solemnis.
