Luca Veggetti was born in Bologna, Italy and trained at La Scala in Milan. After a career as a dancer, Veggetti started an ongoing collaboration with stage director and designer Pier Luigi Pizzi, working in important European theaters and with prestigious musical ensembles. He was the first Italian choreographer in the 20th century to be invited to work with the Kirov Ballet at the Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg. In 2004 he was invited by Peter Martins to participate in two sessions of the New York Choreographic Institute creating November steps and Duo. In March of 2007, Works & Process at the Guggenheim presented an evening of three of Veggetti’s works set to the music of Toshio Hosokawa, commissioning the world premiere of Night/Sounds. In September of 2008 he directed, designed, and choreographed Iannis Xenaki’s Oresteia for Miller Theatre’s Opening Night performances, co-produced with Works & Process at the Guggenheim. He has also recently created new pieces for the Ballet of the Rome Opera, Cedar Lake Ballet New York, the Spoleto Festival in Italy, the Milanoltre Festival, and directed the Japanese premiere of Toshio Hosokawa’s opera Hanjo in Tokyo and the event Xenakis and Japan at in New York as part of the Xenakis Festival.
