He has so far appeared on many operatic stages (Zurich, Berne, Geneva, Lausanne, Palm Beach, Rome, Madrid, Moscow, Paris, Toulouse, and others). His repertoire encompasses an extensive gallery of roles, including Don Giovanni and Leporello (Don Giovanni), Figaro (Le nozze di Figaro), Mephistopheles (Boito, Gounod, Berlioz), Ramphis (Aida), Zaccaria (Nabucco), Philip II (Don Carlos), Sparafucile (Rigoletto), Colline (La Bohème), or Scarpia (Tosca). He has worked with many renowned conductors (Nikolaus Harnoncourt, Marcello Viotti, Alain Lombard, and others), and has performed opposite José Carreras, Alfredo Kraus, Agnes Baltsa, Roberto Alagna, Juan Diego Flórez, Juan Pons, Daniela Dessi. His nearest future commitments include the parts of Mephistopheles in Berlioz’s La damnation de Faust (Mexico City, opposite Ramón Vargas), Leporello in Don Giovanni (Jerez de la Frontera), and Mephisto in Gounod’s Faust (Swiss tour).
