Corinne Baroni, born in Trentino in 1968, is married, with one son and four cats. She has dedicated her life to the arts, demonstrating a profound understanding of the cultural landscape both as a performer and an administrator. Corinne has been the Director of the Coccia Theater Foundation in Novara since August 2018, and the Director of the Academy of Opera Professions of the Coccia Theater in Novara (AMO). In September 2020, she restored the historic "Guido Cantelli" International Award for conducting, taking over its artistic direction and establishing it as a biennial event.
Her managerial roles and support for culture and cultural tourism led to her involvement in drafting the guidelines for the Culture Forum of the province of Trento in 2019 and her appointment to the Permanent Committee for the Promotion of Tourism in Italy by the Minister of Tourism in 2021. From 2020 to 2023, she served as Vice President on the Presidential Council of ATIT, the Association of Italian Traditional Theaters.
Before her roles in opera houses, Baroni had a career as a solo pianist from 1986 to 1999, and she was the Artistic Director of the International Festival "Young Great Interpreters of Classical Music," later known as Lasino Musica, organizing international advanced singing courses with renowned maestros.
Her opera theater career began in 1997 with a scholarship from the Lombardy Region at Teatro alla Scala in Milan, where she collaborated with the Musical Direction until 1999. In 2000, she worked as an assistant director at Teatro Lirico Sperimentale “A. Belli” in Spoleto, and at the Festival dei Due Mondi alongside Alberto Triola, following him to Genoa’s Carlo Felice Theater as an assistant to the Artistic Director. She later worked with Ernesto Palacio Artists Management and then at the Teatro Comunale Foundation in Bologna as Assistant to the Superintendent and Artistic Director and Head of the Superintendence Secretariat. In 2015, she expanded her experience to include fundraising and public relations, ultimately winning the competition for Director and Artistic Director of the Teatro Coccia Foundation in 2018.
