His early experiences as director include collaborations with Moni Ovadia (Golem, 1991; Frammenti sull’Apocalisse 1994), Teatro Due - Parma (Quando incomincia lo spettacolo, 1989 and Creatura di sabbia, 1992, based on the novel by Tahar Ben Jelloun), Studio Azzurro – Milan (Aleksander Nevskij Video, 1988-2008; Che – Cambiare la prosa del mondo, 1989).
Among his later most outstanding projects: Majakovskij, with Lucilla Morlacchi, Bari-Milan, 1998-2000; Experimentum Mundi by Giorgio Battistelli, with Bruno Ganz, Salzburg Festival 1999; Dialoghi con l’Angelo at Teatro Piccinni in Bari and at Mittelfest 2002; 4.48 Psychosis by Sarah Kane, with Giovanna Bozzolo, Milan 2004 and Rome, Teatro Eliseo, 2005. A new version of Experimentum Mundi by G. Battistelli was staged at Luzern Festival 2006.
Many are the video-films, the films and the video-documentaries that he has directed as independent creations or as part of his theatre mise en scène.
He has often been entrusted the conception and direction of several open-air events, operas and multimedia performances (e.g. the great event Stream of Music in 1993 on the Tiber river in Rome, Le pont de la lune in 1998, set on the steps of the ancient Temple of Jupiter in Baalbeck, Lebanon, Il barbiere di Siviglia by G.Rossini in the roman arena of Avenches in 1998, Macbeth by G.Verdi and Norma by V.Bellini at the Sferisterio of Macerata in 2000 and 2001).
He has kept investigating the opera repertoire through the stagings of different masterpieces by Mozart, Rossini, Bellini, Verdi, Boito, Puccini, Weber, Beethoven, Schumann, Wagner, being at the same time often involved with the 20th century authors such as A. Berg, K. Weill, M. Ravel, I. Stravinskij, A. Honegger, B. Britten, L. Dalla Piccola. His stagings of Il prigioniero and Il volo di notte by Dalla Piccola, produced by Maggio Musicale (Florence) were awarded the Premio Abbiati as best Italian show in 2004.
Abbado’s research and work strand was ideally carried on through his intense collaborations with contemporary composers such as Giorgio Battistelli, Luciano Berio (Zaide - world première at Maggio Musicale Fiorentino 1995, Laborinthus at Teatro Carlo Felice, Genoa, 2002), Helmut Oehring (Dokumentation I, Spoleto, Orpheus Prize 1996), Alberto Colla (Il Processo, based on Kafka, Verdi Centenary Award 2001, produced by Fondazione I Teatri Reggio Emilia and Teatro alla Scala Milan), Hans Werner Henze, Nicola Sani, Fabio Vacchi, and Shigeaki Saegusa.
Semi-staged opera productions have always been a highlight in his career; at Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris and at Accademia di Santa Cecilia in Rome, in particular, since 1988 he has directed Freischütz by C. von Weber, Fidelio by L. van Beethoven, Otello by G. Verdi, Tannhäuser by R. Wagner (conductor M.W. Chung) and Wozzeck by A. Berg (conductor Daniele Gatti, September 2003). In 2006 he directed Così fan tutte by W. A. Mozart, and in 2007 he directed Il signor Bruschino by G. Rossini, both at Rome’s new Auditorium, as co-productions between Accademia di Santa Cecilia and Musica per Roma.
Daniele Abbado has particularly focused on W. A. Mozart’s musical theatre. In 1994 he started his in-depth examination of Mozart – Da Ponte’s Italian Trilogy with Così fan tutte, and ever since then he has often staged Mozart’s works. In April 2006, Daniele Abbado accomplished his project of directing the Trilogy as one show. Nozze di Figaro, Don Giovanni and Così fan tutte were staged over three consecutive days featuring one set design at Teatro Filarmonico in Verona and at Teatro Valli in Reggio Emilia. A new production of Die Zauberflöte by W. A. Mozart was staged in 2005 in Reggio Emilia, Ferrara, Baden Baden and Modena, at the Edinburgh Festival in 2006 and at La Coruña’s Mozart Festival in 2007.
Abbado’s collaboration with composer Giorgio Battistelli led to the production of a trilogy based on Miracolo a Milano by Cesare Zavattini and Vittorio De Sica; the show debuted at Teatro Valli and Teatro Cavallerizza in Reggio Emilia in November 2007. In June 2008 it was staged at Rome’s new Auditorium, in association with Accademia di Santa Cecilia.
Daniele Abbado has holded classes of stage direction at the Brera Fine Arts Academy in Milan.
Since March 2003 he is the Artistic Director of Fondazione I Teatri in Reggio Emilia.
