For this special programme Maestro Montano conducts laVerdi in two beautiful concerts dedicated to Spanish music and dance, as part of laVerdi summer season.
The Madrilenian José Antonio Montaño is considered “among Spain´s orchestra conductors with the highest renown at the moment”, according to the specialized music press. Trained by great masters such as Jesús López Cobos, Evelino Pidò, Pinchas Steinberg and Arturo Tamayo, he made name for himself in theaters and auditoriums of international prestige, performing all genres (opera, ballet, symphony and chamber music), and covering an extensive repertoire starting with his first baroque performance until utterly contemporary debuts.
Since 1998, he has been highly active in opera conducting, with a special emphasis on 18th century works, performing in top-ranked theaters, both nationally and abroad. Among many others, we mention these outstanding titles: La vera costanza and Il mondo della luna by F. J. Haydn, W. A. Mozart’s Don Giovanni, D. Cimarosa’s Il matrimonio segreto, V. Martín y Soler’s Il tutore burlato, C. Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo, H. Purcell’s Dido & Aeneas, J. A. Hasse’s Lacontadina, G. B. Pergolesi’s La serva padrona, C. de Rossi’s Il sacrificio di Abramo, A. Rodríguez de Hita’s Las labradoras de Murcia, Il barbiere di Siviglia and Il viaggio a Reims by G. Rossini, Don Pasquale and Rita by G. Donizetti, R. Carnicer’s Don Giovanni Tenorio, Bellini’s I Puritani, Puccini´s La Bohème, X. Montsalvatge’s El gato con botas (Puss in Boots), C. del Campo’s Fantochines andThe Little Sweep by B. Britten.
