Lisandro Abadie will be teaching "Historical Performance Practice Singing" at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis from the fall semester 2022/2023. He comes from Buenos Aires and holds singing diplomas from the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis and the Lucerne School of Music.
According to the SCB media release, Lisandro Abadie has always had a special interest in the linguistic foundations and history of singing, which has led him to work as a researcher, dramaturge and translator. He has also been able to use his special qualifications for several years as a vocal coach in the AVES "Advanced Vocal Ensemble Studies" advanced training master's program at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis (SCB), as well as giving masterclasses in Thiré with William Christie, and in Paris, Fontainebleau, Venice and Urbino.
His work as a bass-baritone has led him to collaborate with ensemble leaders and conductors such as William Christie, Laurence Cummings, Rubén Dubrovsky, Václav Luks, Francesco Corti, Tōnu Kaljuste, Skip Sempé, Paul Agnew, Philippe Herreweghe, Paul Goodwin, Vincent Dumestre and many others. He has performed at the Handel Festivals in Göttingen and Karlsruhe (Siroe, Theodora, Riccardo Primo), at the National Theater in Prague (Rinaldo), at the Opéra Comique in Paris (Cachafaz, Alcione) and is a regular guest at the London Handel Festival. He has also been involved in numerous CD and video productions.
