His music has been performed abroad, including in France, Spain, Germany, the Netherlands (Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw), England, Scotland (Glasgow’s Royal Academy), the USA (Bang on a Can Marathon, Aspen Music Festival, Los Angeles Monday Evening Concerts) and Japan. In 2001 he was commissioned by Luciano Berio a children’s opera for the Santa Cecilia Academy, La Nave a Tre Piani (The three-storey ship), which was staged in the 2005/2006 season and subsequently restaged by Turin’s Royal Theater.
For the theatre he has also composed the ballet Games (Teatro alla Scala, choreographed by Fabrizio Monteverde) and four musical operas. In 1998 he was commissioned to write the score Uber Allen Gipfeln for ten instruments by the European project The sound of the parks, led by Enzo Restagno, Roman Vlad, Gerard Grisey, George Benjamin and Louis Andriessen.
