Biography

Trained in Barcelona and Karlsruhe, Germany, Spanish countertenor Xavier Sabata, born in Avia on August 28, 1976, was spotted by William Christie, who enrolled him in his Jardin des Voix in 2005 and offered him his first roles on the great opera stages. With the English conductor and others such as René Jacobs and Riccardo Minasi, Xavier Sabata went on to a series of training courses and productions, both Baroque and contemporary. After the title role in Handel's Rinaldo at the Opéra de Fribourg, he recorded his first full-length recital. Released in early 2013, Bad Guys is devoted to the roles of villains in Handel's operas. In 2014, Xavier Sabata reunited with Handel and conductor Riccardo Minasi for a new production of Tamerlano, and published the Baroque recital I Dilettanti. Three years later, the following collection Catharsis focuses on redemptive roles in early 18th-century operas.
