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.
His recent engagements include his debut at Teatro Calderón in Valladolid singing the role of Sam in Un ballo in maschera, a venue to which he recently returns to sing for the first time the role of Doctor Grenvil in La Traviata; his performance as Ferrando in Il Trovatore and Count de Grieux in the opera Manon at the Villamarta in Jerez, and his debut in the demanding role of Zaccaria in Nabucco in Oviedo. He also makes his debut at Teatro de la Maestranza in Seville in Pelléas et Mélisande.
In the field of oratorio, he performa 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 the Teatro de la Zarzuela and the Fundación March, both in Madrid.
