Antonio Ordóñez
He studied in Madrid with Miguel Barrosa and made his debut as a concert singer in 1980. In 1982, he was hired by the Teatro de la Zarzuela in Madrid, where he sang zarzuela to begin with. But soon, he ventured into opera, as well (first appearance: Macduff in Las Palmas). He had major success as Pinkerton at the Teatro de la Zarzuela with Yoko Watanabe, and then at the Gran Teatre del Liceu in Barcelona with Ilona Tokody (1985). At the Liceu, he was to sing a lot: Pacini's Saffo with Montserrat Caballé in 1987, a production that aroused much interest and enthusiasm; Mefistofele (1987), Don Carlo (1988), La fiamma by Ottorino Respighi (1990). I wish to thank Georges Cardol for the recording. I wish to thank Helmut Krautschneider for the pictures.
