In 2019, he was awarded a spot in the Venice Biennale Music College Programme alongside composer Marco Benetti. Their work “Tredici secondi o un bipede implume ma con unghie piatte” premiered at Teatro Piccolo dell’Arsenale, with director Francesca Merli and notable singers Ugo Tarquini, Eleonora Claps, and the first transgender baritone Emily de Salve. Fabrizio continued to work with Marco on a revisitation of the myth of Anna Perenna which premiered the same year at Rome’s museum of Malborghetto, and they are currently developing a new chamber opera commissioned by Operitage.

With composer Kieron Smith, he wrote “The Overcoat,” after Gogol’s story, which premiered at Blackheath Halls in London in 2019. His other notable works include “The Flea,” written with composer Martin Gaughin in 2020, and “Decameron Privato,” based on Italy’s first homosexual short story in Boccaccio’s Decameron, for composer Lorenzo Casati in 2021. His second opera with composer Germán Alonso, “Loveléase,” premiered in 2023 under the direction of José Cortez, after being selected for Neue Szenen, promoted by Deutsche Oper Berlin and the Hochschule für Musik “Hanns Eisler”. In 2024, his opera Acqua Tofana, based on the true story of Giulia Tofana, premiered in London at the Tête à Tête Festival. He was subsequently selected as a resident librettist by the Fondazione Paolo Grassi and the Festival della Valle d’Itria to write a trilogy of librettos inspired by the figure of Andromache, which will premiere in 2026.

In 2020, he wrote, directed, and co-produced “Geografie di un sogno e altre solitudini“, which opened in a secret location in central Rome (Il Cantiere Theatre). This 30-minute immersive play, where one person entered the labyrinthine-like space of tableaux vivants, was sold out and received critical acclaim. In 2021, he wrote the musical “Si esto fuera una película sería un drama”, which premiered at Teatro Central, headlining the Andalusian LGBTQ+ Pride. The show, produced by Togayther and directed by Ramon Pereira, toured across Spain.

As a screenwriter, he was the recipient of the Atelier Renoir Screenwriter residency in Rome in 2022, where he participated in a writers’ room with director Ciro D’Emilio. He has collaborated with established writers and directors such as Anna Foglietta and Alessandra Cenni. His short films have screened worldwide, notably
A Portrait of the Artist as an Older Woman starring Pia Morra. In 2025, he made his directorial debut with the short film The Remains of Love.

Fabrizio is also the Artistic Director of The Librettist, a project promoting contemporary librettists and opera. He has collaborated with institutions such as Opera360, Opera Charm, and the Verona Opera Academy, where he authored and coordinated the composer-librettist residency Opera Factor. He has also collaborated with La Treccani, presenting Ennio Morricone’s autobiography In His Own Words with award-winning co-author and composer Alessandro De Rosa. He holds a BA in Linguistics from Roma Tre University, a Diploma from University College London (UCL), an MA in Arts Administration from Goldsmiths University, and a Diploma in Screenwriting from Accademia del Cinema Renoir. His work has appeared in several publications, including Opera Charm’s Anniversary Issue and Mimesis Journal.
