In December 2001, Noseda was named principal conductor of the BBC Philharmonic,[5] and assumed the post in September 2002. In July 2003, Noseda extended his contract with the orchestra to 2008.[6] He and the BBC Philharmonic participated in a 2005 BBC Radio 3 project which made live performances in Manchester of the nine symphonies of Beethoven[7][8] available for download.[9][10] In October 2006, Noseda extended his contract for another two years and his title was changed to Chief Conductor.[11] He concluded his BBC Philharmonic tenure after the 2010–2011 season and subsequently took the title of conductor laureate.[12] In February 2016, the London Symphony Orchestra announced the appointment of Noseda as its new co-principal guest conductor, effective with the 2016–2017 season.[13]

Noseda first conducted at the Zurich Opera in May 2017, in a production of Prokofiev's The Fiery Angel, and subsequently returned for a further guest engagement with Verdi's Macbeth. In July 2018, Zurich Opera announced the appointment of Noseda as its next Generalmusikdirektor, effective in 2021.[17]
