Xabier Anduaga, the tenor of the moment: “Smiling is complicated when singing opera”

It is not a cliché: Xabier Anduaga (Donostia, 1995) is the great young tenor of the moment. Trained at Musikene and refined by bel canto masters, he belongs to the lineage of tenors who combine youth with surprisingly mature technique, which has given him an international passport. Since winning Operalia in 2019, he lives between airports, dressing rooms, and applause. The Liceu hosts his debut as Werther, Goethe’s poet who also commits suicide in Jules Massenet’s opera.

Spain can withstand the energy ‘shock’ from Hormuz if it does not last too long

The impact of the war in Iran on the energy system has put Europe in front of the mirror. Is it possible to maintain supply on the continent in the face of global-scale disruptions like those experienced in the Strait of Hormuz? The Annual Meeting of the Cercle d’Economia brought together this Tuesday two heavyweights of the sector in Spain, the president of Naturgy, Francisco Reynés, and that of Repsol, Antonio Brufau, to resolve this question and many others.

Alsina, about his new role on Onda Cero: “I have worn myself out, it would be good for me to get up less early”

The radio earthquake from last week has not left any aftershocks on Monday morning.
