Girolamo Deraco's Album

Incide the Cell

His operas have been played in Carnegie Hall, Festival Pucciniano, Bartok¬plusz Miskolci Operafesztivál, Tiroler Festspiele Erl, Auditorium Parco della Musica, Festival Play.it, Teatro del Giglio, and many others. 
He has been a finalist and the winner of almost twenty-five international composition contests, amongst which the Bartok¬plusz Miskolci Operafesztivál, (where he won two world records, the shortest opera ever written - 8 seconds - and the opera most played dur¬ing a single evening - 17 times), Anima Mundi, Windstream and many others. He has received the ‘Riconoscimento di merito’ at the Premio Abbado Award 2015 from the President of the Italian Republic.

His opera ‘Dr. Streben’, a Robotic Festival Pisa commission, is the first opera written with a humanoid robot on the scene.  
His piece ‘Phonè – symphonic installation for 100 grammophones and choir’ has been performed at Bartok¬plusz Miskolci Operafesztivál in Hungary. 
In 2018 The Italian Synchronized Swimming Team won the Silver Medal performing his music at the 2018 European Aquatics Championships of Glasgow. 

He received under the Mestro Rigacci, his Master in Music Composition, with the highest possible grade, cum laude, special mention, and scholarship, from the Istituto Superiore di Studi Musicali “L. Boccherini” Lucca (the only composer since 1842, when the institute was founded, to have achieved this accolade). 

His music is performed all around the world, and it is published by Edizioni Sconfinarte and EMA Vinci.
