He obtains a scholarship from the Marcelino Botín Foundation to continue his musical studies, perfecting his technique with teachers such as Roberto Scandiuzzi, Teresa Berganza, Montserrat Obeso, Carlos Chausson, Dolora Zajik and Juan Lomba, among others.
Awarded in various competitions, he makes his stage debut with Sorozábal's zarzuela Katiuska, in the role of Prince Sergio. From that moment on, his artistic career follows an upward trend, adding to his repertoire operas and zarzuelas such as Gianni Schicchi, The merry widow, Don Gil de Alcalá, Lucia di Lammermoor (Arturo) in Pamplona, his debut at Teatro de la Zarzuela in La Tempranica, La leyenda del beso, El huésped del Sevillano and once again Katiuska (Las Palmas de Gran Canaria), Macbeth (Malcolm) in Córdoba and his debut at Teatro Real in the opera I vespri siciliani, followed by further collaborations in Parsifal, La Favorita, Lucia di Lammemoor and Umberto Giordano's Siberia.
After debuting Cassio in Otello at Teatro Calderón in Valladolid, he takes on important leading roles as Lensky in Eugene Onegin (Zommeropera, Belgium) and Faust (Oviedo and Dorset Festival in UK), as well as in Marina, La tabernera del puerto, Luisa Fernanda,
Los gavilanes, Entre Sevilla y Triana and Tabaré (Teatro de la Zarzuela), Cecilia Valdés (Teatro Colón de Bogotá) and Edgardo in
Lucia di Lammermoor (Oviedo), among others.
In recent years Alejandro del Cerro consolidates his professional career with his debut at Liceu de Barcelona in the role of Nearco in Poliuto, followed by Cardona in Doña Francisquita on the same stage, and especially his first leading role at Teatro Real in Donizetti's Viva la mamma.
His most recent performances include Laërte in Hamlet in Oviedo, the role of Narraboth in Salome at Auditorio de Madrid, together with the OCNE conducted by its principal conductor David Afkham, the opera by Rufus Wainwright Hadrian at Teatro Real, a title he later repeated at the Festival de Peralada, his debut at the Teatro de la Maestranza in Roberto Devereux, his return to Real with Tristan und Isolde and to the Zarzuela in the revival of Luisa Fernanda.
As for his symphonic repertoire, to name but a few works, he performs Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, Rossini's Stabat Mater at Fundación March in Madrid and Handel's Messiah at L'Auditori in Barcelonawith the OBC. He recently adds Verdi's Requiem to his list with the Orquesta de Córdoba and will shortly be making his debut of Malher's Das Lied von der Erder with the Orquesta Sinfónica de Castilla y León en Segovia y Zamora, repeating it with the Joven Orquesta de Andalucía in Seville and Jerez.
He will soon make his debut in the Bilbao opera season with Roméo et Juliette and will sing for the first time the roles of Alfredo in La Traviata in Oviedo, and Fernando in Doña Francisquita in Córdoba and Teatro de la Zarzuela.
