David Charles Abell (born 1958) is an American conductor of opera, orchestral music and musical theater. Described as “a protean talent” with “impeccable and inspired” skill as a conductor, he is active in symphonic music, opera and musical theatre.[1] Abell was one of Leonard Bernstein's last protégés, and collaborated with Bernstein on many works during the 1980s.[2]
Abell is known for his television appearances worldwide as conductor of the Les Misérables' 10th[3] and 25th[4] Anniversary concerts. He is also recognized as an authoritative interpreter of the musicals of Stephen Sondheim.[5][6]
In addition to maintaining an active international opera career, Abell has worked to restore clarity to musical scores with poorly preserved source materials.[2] As of 2017, Abell is a resident of London.[7]
