Riccardo Muti is read about 384 times a day, in 37 languages.
A typical day, 30 days to 15 October 2026
The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 390 days, one point a day.
Something wrong?He's led some of the world's most storied orchestras - Philadelphia, La Scala, Chicago - and been called one of the five best living conductors, but it's his command of Verdi that defines him. Riccardo Muti doesn't just interpret the Italian master; he speaks his language.

Child: Chiara MutiAbout this person
Born July 28, 1941, Muti built a conducting career that took him from Florence's Maggio Musicale to London's Philharmonia, then across the Atlantic to the Philadelphia Orchestra. He became music director at Milan's Teatro alla Scala, later took the helm of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and in 2023 was named music director emeritus there. Along the way he led the Salzburg Whitsun Festival and now directs the Orchestra Giovanile Luigi Cherubini. A prolific recording artist, he's won two Grammys and collected honours across decades. In 2015, music critics ranked him the world's fifth best living conductor - a reputation built on precision, depth, and an unshakable bond with Giuseppe Verdi.
