javier castañeda
bass-baritone
Born in Palencia, Javier Castañeda combines his studies in Industrial Engineering and Anthropology with the Piano career, both in Valladolid. He discovers his vocation for singing a few years later, moving to Madrid to train at the Superior School of Singing with the singer Juan Lomba. He also receives master classes from Carlos Álvarez and Deborah Polaski.
He begins his artistic experience in 2015. He participates in various productions with the Madrid Opera group at Teatro Victoria in the city like Rigoletto, Il barbiere di Siviglia, La Bohème, L'elisir d'amore, La del manojo de rosas and La verbena de la Paloma, among others. He continues his professional career with his debut at Teatro Calderón in Valladolid singing the role of Sam in Un ballo in maschera, a venue to which he recently returned to sing for the first time the role of Doctor Grenvil in La Traviata; his performance as Ferrando in Il Trovatore and the Count de Grieux in the opera Manon at Villamarta in Jerez, and the debut of the demanding role of Zaccaria in Nabucco and the Spectre of the departed King in Thomas' Hamlet in Oviedo.
His most recent engagements include his return to Seville in Roberto Devereux, and his debut at Teatro de la Maestranza in Pelléas et Mélisande, at Teatro de la Zarzuela with La Celestina and at the Fundación March, with Rachmaninoff's The Miserly Gentleman. More recently, he adds to his repertoire the role of Titurel in Parsifal, together with the Orquesta de Extremadura conducted by Pablo Heras-Casado, in concert version.
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).
He will soon make his debut at Palau de les Arts in Valencia in Ernani and will return to Teatro de la Zarzuela in a new project.
