Javier Luengo-Garrido
Bartolo

Chilean-American bass-baritone Javier Luengo-Garrido has established
himself as soloist and choral singer in New England since 2009, performing
with the University of Massachusetts Chamber Choir, the New England
Conservatory Opera Summer Program, and PanOpera and the Windham
Orchestra under Maestro Hugh Keelan. Since his debut with the Catholic
University Opera Workshop in Santiago de Chile in 2001, where he
received critical acclaim for his role of Nardo/Roberto in Mozart’s La finta
giardiniera (conducted by Gonzalo Cuadra with Miriam Singer in charge of
regie), he has established himself as a noted Mozartean singer. He has
sung the roles of Masetto in Mozart’s Don Giovanni, Bartolo/Antonio in Le
nozze di Figaro, and Betto in Puccini's Gianni Schicchi. Under the baton of
Maestro Keelan he has performed the roles of Cesare Angelotti
(Puccini’s Tosca), Colline (Puccini's La Boheme), and Tonio and Alfio
(Leoncavallo's Pagliacci and Mascagni's Cavalleria rusticana), Ferrando
(Verdi's Il Trovatore) in Brattleboro and Northampton, MA.
In addition to these full opera productions, Luengo-Garrido has performed
as a soloist with the University of Massachusetts Orchestra in Borodin’s
"Polovetsian Dances" (from the opera Prince Igor) under conductor Vince
Lee, Mozart’s Coronation Mass under Tony Thornton, and Schubert’s G
minor Mass under Joshua Harper. Javier Luengo-Garrido works for the
ACLUM and lives in Northampton, Massachusetts
