Biography
Argentinian conductor Leonardo García-Alarcón has established himself as a leading figure in the revival of the Baroque repertoire. In 2005, he founded Cappella Mediterranea, an ensemble now renowned for the rigor and vitality of its performances, and in 2010 he became director of the Chœur de Chambre de Namur. His work in rediscovering rare pieces—particularly by Sacrati, Cavalli, Draghi, and Falvetti—has resulted in productions noted for their coherence and musical intensity.
Invited by numerous institutions and opera houses, he maintains an active international career both as a conductor and harpsichordist. He was named Best Conductor in the 2019 Forum Opéra awards and “Artist of the Year” at the 2025 International Classical Music Awards.
In 2026, he conducts The Magic Flute at the Aix-en-Provence Festival and Semele at the Bavarian State Opera in Munich, and releases La Passione di Gesù, his first major composition. Leonardo García-Alarcón is director of La Cité Bleue, a performance venue with over 300 seats in Geneva. He has been awarded the title of Chevalier of the Order of Arts and Letters.
At the Paris Opera: Eliogabalo, 2016; Les Indes galantes, 2019.
