In 2000 he took part in the Young Artist Program of the Metropolitan Opera in New York and worked with renowned teachers such as Trish McCaffree, Renata Scotto and Pierre Vallet. The following year he made his stage debut singing Alfredo in "La Traviata". In 2002 he won three awards at the Francisco-Vinas-Competition in Barcelona and joined the ensemble at the Stadttheater Giessen/ Germany, where he successfully performed a number of prestigious roles, such as Pollione, Pinkerton, Lenskij and Mitch in the German premiere of André Previns "A streetcar named desire". Meanwhile the artist is freelanced and has made a splendid reputation as one of the leading tenors of the young generation. Due to his outstanding musicality and attractive stage appearance he is predestinated for the major tenor roles of the Italian and French repertoire. In addition to the already mentioned characters his repertoire includes Cavaradossi, Don José, Luigi in "Il tabarro" und Lyonel in "Martha" as well as a number of major roles in Spanish operas and zarzuelas. Recently he appeared as Christian in Alfano's "Cyrano de Bergerac" at the Palau de la Musica in his native Valencia and Froh in Wagner's "Das Rheingold" conducted by Zubin Mehta in Valencia and Florence. In January 2008 he will make his debut at La Scala.
