A former Sir Charles Mackerras Fellow at English National Opera, Madaras made his operatic debut with Die Zauberflöte at the London Coliseum and has since conducted at Dutch National Opera, La Monnaie, the Hungarian State, and Grand Théâtre de Genève.
Deeply committed to new music, he has worked closely with composers including Pierre Boulez, Péter Eötvös, George Benjamin, and György Kurtág. His festival credits include Lucerne, Gstaad, Enescu, and Festival d’Automne à Paris, and he has recorded with major ensembles including the BBC Symphony and Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin.
