Stefano Trespidi (Italian pronunciation: [ˈsteːfano ˈtrɛspidi]; born May 23, 1970) is an Italian opera stage director.

Born in Verona, Italy, Trespidi grew up near the Arena di Verona, where he began acting and interning as a youth. He earned a law degree from University of Trento in International Law (1996), but did not enter the business world. He earned his Masters diploma from the Teatro La Scala in Milan (1999).

Trespidi first met Franco Zeffirelli in 1995 during the staging of Carmen at the Arena di Verona. Trespidi has since regularly served on the directorial productions teams in collaboration with Zeffirelli on various productions at the Arena Di Verona, such as Il Trovatore (2001), Aida (2002), Madama Butterfly (2004), Turandot (2010), and Pagliacci (2010). January, 2019, Stefano Trespidi became vice artistic director of the Arena di Verona.[1][2]

Trespidi made his US opera directorial debut at LA Opera in Los Angeles with a revival of the Franco Zeffirelli production of Pagliacci (alongside Gianni Schicchi as directed by Woody Allen) in September 2015.[1][2][3]
