Principal Trumpet at Teatro La Fenice

Portrait photographs of Piergiuseppe Doldi — trumpet soloist and proud Schagerl Artist.

Piergiuseppe Doldi is Principal Trumpet at the Teatro La Fenice Orchestra in Venice. He graduated in 1994 from the Conservatory of Music "G. Nicolini" in Piacenza. Before securing his current role, he collaborated with major Italian orchestras including Teatro alla Scala (Milan), the Filarmonica Arturo Toscanini in Parma and I Pomeriggi Musicali in Milan. In 2007 he won the position of Principal Trumpet at Teatro La Fenice.

Throughout his career he has performed under celebrated conductors including Daniel Barenboim, Lorin Maazel, Riccardo Muti, Daniele Gatti, Riccardo Chailly, Myung-whun Chung and Zubin Mehta. As a soloist, he appears regularly with I Solisti Veneti under Claudio Scimone. Beyond concert life, Piergiuseppe is a passionate pedagogue, giving masterclasses at numerous Italian music institutions.

His Schagerl instruments include the C-trumpet "WIEN HEAVY" (gold plated), the B-trumpet "1961 B2G" and the B-trumpet "Berlin K Heavy" (gold plated).

In this portrait session, my goal was to capture both his commanding stage presence and the quiet confidence of a seasoned artist. The aim was to reflect his mastery, his musical history and the deep bond he shares with his instrument — a narrative of artistry in every frame.
