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

Alen Craig3 months ago3 months ago09 mins

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. It starts this Saturday, May 2, with an exclusive Under35 performance, and runs until May 17.

Alen Craig1 week ago1 week ago05 mins

Never in the history of the finals had a team failed to take a single shot on the opponent’s goal during regular time. Argentina, a stingy team that only attacked when it was dying down, ended up with two chances in 125 minutes, and they offered no more football than countering Spain with order, forcefulness, and too often dirty play, foul tactics, and trickery. Unworthy of the three-time champions who aspired to their fourth crown. Only goalkeeper Dibu Martínez was spared from a very poor collective performance.

The approach of summer boosts the labor market. If in the Spanish economy May is always a good month for employment, this year’s has been even better than usual. An increase of 232,000 affiliates, which is the second-best May in the historical series and leads to a new record in the total number of contributors, who have already exceeded 22.3 million. And a significant fact: practically half of the increase in contributors in May comes from foreign workers, with 111,000 new affiliates. Among Spaniards, the employment growth rate is clearly lower.

Haaland’s entourage denies his signing and Riquelme assures that “it’s part of the game”

Alen Craig2 months ago2 months ago03 mins

Real Madrid presidential candidate Enrique Riquelme emulated Florentino Pérez last night on El Hormiguero. As the current Real Madrid president did in 2000, Riquelme announced a stellar signing and publicly committed to compensating Real Madrid members if that player did not join the white club. In 2000, it goes without saying, Florentino Pérez’s big signing was Luis Figo. Riquelme, in this 2026, announced that he has signed Erling Haaland, Manchester City striker; that the commitment is sealed by a notary and that “if I fail to fulfill any of my electoral promises, I will pay 100% of the membership fee for the 100,000 Real Madrid members”.
