Born in Barcelona in 1939, he started an international career performing the most important tenor roles in works by Verdi, Puccini and Gounod. When he returned to Spain, he made his debut at the Gran Teatro Liceo theatre in Barcelona. Thanks to the singing awards from the Bilbao Association of the Friends of the Opera and the Verdianas de Busseto voice competition he was able to go to Italy to pursue his studies, eventually debuting at La Scala in Milan. His repertoire runs to over 30 operas and he has performed at theatres across the five continents, sharing the stage with Montserrat Caballé, José Carreras, Plácido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti. His home city has paid him tribute on several occasions.
