Alessandro Haber (born 19 January 1947) is an Italian actor, film director and singer.

Contents

Haber was born in Bologna in a Jewish family of mixed ancestry (his father was a Romanian Jew and his mother Italian) and spent his childhood in Israel. His movie debut was in 1967 with China Is Near by Marco Bellocchio. His first leading role was in Pupi Avati's Christmas Present . [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

Haber directed his only movie in 2003 with Scacco pazzo . [6] [7]

He is also a distinguished theatre actor, having performed amongst others in Orgia by Pier Paolo Pasolini, Woyzeck by Georg Büchner, The Miser by Molière, Uncle Vanya by Anton Chekhov, Dialogo by Natalia Ginzburg and A Servant of Two Masters by Carlo Goldoni.

He has been touring theatres since 2006 with Tango d'amore e di coltelli , with music by Ástor Piazzolla, based on a text by Jorge Luis Borges. [8]

He has won three Nastro d'Argento, one David di Donatello, one Premio Gassman, one Premio IDI and one theatre critics' award. In 2021, the actor was also awarded the Special Nastro d'Argento 2021. [9]

As a singer, he has released three albums: Haberrante, Qualcosa da dichiarare and Il sogno di un uomo. His greatest success was the single "La valigia dell'attore", written for him by Francesco De Gregori.

In June 2011 Haber attempted to kiss actress Lucia Lavia onstage during a rehearsal for Othello at the Teatro Romano di Verona. She responded by slapping him and he immediately slapped her back while accusing her of being "cold." After the intervention of both their lawyers, the theater forced Haber to leave the production and he was replaced by Franco Branciaroli. [10]

In 2017 he has interpreted Gabriele Tinti's poetry giving voice to the masterpieces in the National Archaeological Museum, Naples and in the Capitoline Museums. [11]
