The Spanish / Mexican baritone Jorge Eleazar studied singing in Mexico City. He was a member of the Placido Domingo Young Artist Development Program at Les Arts Valencia. He made his debut at the Teatro Bellas Artes in Mexico City, where he sang his first engagements Guglielmo ("Cosí fan tutte"), Biscroma ("Viva la mamma") and Dancaïro ("Carmen") and Figaro ("Le nozze di Figaro") and subsequently as Belcore ("L'elisir d'amore") and Malatesta ("Don Pasquale") also in Mexico. In his first engagement at Les Arts Valencia he sang Brander (“La damnation de Faust”), Roberto (“I vespri siciliani”), Ping (“Turandot”) and Baron (“La traviata”). Further engagements lead him to the Opera de Tenerife as Taddeo in (“L’italiana in Algeri”), Szcecin Opera (Tonio in “Pagliacci” and Gianni Schicchi) and the Bregenz Festival (1st line-up Conte Ceprano “Rigoletto”).

Eleazar works closely with conductors such as Henrik Nanasi, Enrique Mazzola, Roberto Abbado and Fabio Biondi as well as with well-known directors such as Damiano Michieletto, Philip Stoezl, Sofia Coppola, Emilio Sagi and in particular with Davide Livermore.
