About Me

Diletta Robuschi (Mirandola, 1998) is a director and musicologist. After studying oboe at the Conservatory of Parma, she graduated in Musicology from the University of Pavia, where she specialized in musical dramaturgy. She began her theatre training by attending courses in directing, acting, and contemporary dance.

In 2021, she worked as a stage management intern at the Verdi Festival at Teatro Regio di Parma for Un ballo in maschera (Gustavo III). In 2022, she was assistant director for Scipione nelle Spagne, directed by Francesco Bellotto, staged at Teatro Malibran in Venice. In 2025, she is assistant director for Falstaff, directed by Jacopo Spirei, at the Verdi Festival.

She has also worked as a streaming music assistant for the Opera Streaming project promoted by the Emilia-Romagna Region, for the filming of Simon Boccanegra (Verdi Festival 2022) and The Turn of the Screw (Teatri di Reggio Emilia 2023). In 2021, she wrote the programme notes for Il trovatore at Teatro Ponchielli in Cremona.

Directing

In 2023, she directed and wrote the short film Il ballo delle ingrate – The Body of Emancipation, inspired by Monteverdi’s Ballo delle ingrate, created for the La danza in 1 minuto – International Screendance Contest.

In 2024, she made her directorial debut at the Monteverdi Festival in Cremona with Voi d’Amor ribelle!, a stage production based on Ballo delle ingrate and Il combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda: a multidisciplinary performance combining contemporary dance and early music.

Dance Training

Alongside her work, she has deepened her study of contemporary dance. In 2025, she took part in the Impulstanz Vienna International Dance Festival thanks to a scholarship awarded by the Associazione Silvia per la Danza.

In her work, dance, theatre, and music are in constant dialogue, contributing to the development of a shared artistic language.
