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 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.
He continues an ascending career with his debut at Teatro de la Maestranza in Pelléas et Mélisande, where he returns in Roberto Devereux, at Teatro de la Zarzuela in La Celestina and at the Fundación March with Rachmaninoff's The Miserly Gentleman.
More recently, he adds the role of Titurel in Parsifal to his repertoire, with the Orquesta de Extremadura conducted by Pablo Heras-Casado, in concert version, and for the first time on the stage of Palau de les Arts in Ernani.
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).
Castañeda will soon return to Teatro de la Zarzuela in Las golondrinas, playing the role of Roberto, and to Villamarta de Jerez with Madama Butterfly.
