Of his recent engagements, his return to the Teatro de la Zarzuela to sing the role of Pascual in the opera Marina and his debut in the Tenerife opera season in La bella Susona are particularly noteworthy.
In the field of oratorio, he performs Handel's Messiah and Samson, Mozart's Requiem, Bach's Magnificat and Cantatas, Haydn's Stabat Mater (Orquesta y Coro de la Comunidad de Madrid, ORCAM) and Verdi's Requiem (Orquesta Filarmónica de Málaga).
