ABOUT JUAN

Usually praised in terms of composing convincing and thrilling roles, chiseled with a broad voice, pleasant timbre and colors, and superb management of acting nuances, Juan’s passion for Opera goes

beyond performing as a lyric-dramatic baritone:

 

He knows his repertoire with meticulous accuracy, ardent and comprehensive insights, synoptic perspectives and an unerring sense of style, in addition to the increasing experience -which he very much enjoys narrating- and yet all that is to come...

​

A native of Oviedo (Spain), Juan Salvador Trupia received his training

at the Conservatorio Nacional de Música Carlos López Buchardo,

in Buenos Aires (Argentina), studying violin under the tutelage of Maestro Abraham Buchalter and Cristina Monasterolo; harmony and

counterpoint with Maestro Evaristo López Moure; and vocal training

with Horacio Amauri in Buenos Aires, and with Arthur Levi in New York.

 

With over a hundred concerts during the 1990s as a member of the Chamber Orchestra of the Ministry of Education (Argentina), he also performed as concertmaster in top venues like Salón Dorado of Teatro Colón, White Hall of the Palacio Pizzurno, Aula Magna of Facultad de Derecho, Congreso de la Nación, Teatro General San Martín and Centennial Park Amphitheater; as well as concerts for radio and TV.

An early passion for Opera found him also starring a movie (Lyric Argentina) and writing for

Revista Clásica (specialized magazine), including interviews to the most outstanding national

and international artists, research articles, music reviews and courses of musical history.


As a man driven by a big heart, for many years -and until his recent return to Europe-

Juan has been actively supporting Música para el Alma (MPA - Music for the Soul, in english),

a charitable project -aimed at spreading affection, compassion and inclusion through music- created and conducted in Argentina by professional musicians, choir and opera singers,

which has also spread to other countries.

​

Chamber Music is also one of Juan’s facets, mainly from Beethoven, Brahms, Schubert and Schumann, having performed in many concerts -as well as in Schubertiades- in Buenos Aires,

with Viennese pianist Trude Heuse.

​

After year 2012 Juan found himself more and more often singing solo roles in several Operas

all over Argentina, including most of his current repertoire (of both Opera and Sacred Music, as indicated in the table at the bottom).

​

The 2015 season in Buenos Aires had him as Gérard (Andrea Chenier), Figaro (Le nozze di

Figaro), Bruschino (Il Signor Bruschino), Scarpia (Tosca) and Escamillo (Carmen), in addition to soloist performances of Mozart’s Requiem, Charpentier’s Te Deum and Haydn’s Die Schöpfung (The Creation).

It was such a prelude to his soloist debut in Teatro Colón as the King

(in Montsalvatge’s El Gato con Botas), in 2016, completing the season

in Buenos Aires with performances of Dottore Dulcamara (L’elisir d’amore), Buonafede (Il Mondo della Luna), Sharpless (Madama Butterfly) and Bruschino (Il Signor Bruschino), in addition to Charpentier’s Te Deum, Rossini’s Stabat Mater, concerts in the official bicentennial festivities for Argentina’s Independence, and chamber music concerts.

​

In 2017 he returned as the King (in Montsalvatge’s El Gato con Botas) at Teatro Colón as well as in the new Teatro del Bicentenario (province of San Juan, Argentina); also as Germont (La Traviata) at Teatro del Globo, Buenas Aires.

​

In 2018 / 2019 made a debut as Uberto in La serva padrona and performed at several chamber concerts: in Milan, Madrid and other Spanish cities, especially in Oviedo, where he has been invited by Academia de las Letras Asturianas (in its 40th Anniversary) for a concert covering lieder and opera in Asturian language. Also performed eight concerts with the Orquesta Sinfónica del Principado de Asturias, at the Auditorio Príncipe Felipe.

In 2019 / 2020 performed the Christmas Oratorio by Camille Saint Säens, Fantasia on Christmas Carols by Ralph Vaughanm Williams and chamber concerts. For 2020 / 2021, has performed two gala concerts for the 100th anniversary of Teatro Palacio Valdés de Avilés as well as a Christmas gala in Berlin, while the main prepared roles for incoming performances are Iago (in Verdi's Otello), Germont (in Verdi's La Traviata), Escamillo (in Bizet's Carmen), Don Giovanni and Leporello (in Mozart's Don Giovanni), among others.

​

His current residence is Oviedo (Spain).
