Roger
Padullés
Roger Padullés was born in Sallent,
Barcelona and began his musical training
with the Boys Choir "Escolania de
Montserrat". After this he undertook
singing lessons in Barcelona with
Joaquim Proubasta and in 2001, with the
support of the Catalan Governement, he
went to Freiburg in Germany to study
with Professor Reginaldo Pinheiro. There
he obtained the highest qualifications in
the specialities of Lied, Oratorio and
Opera.
In 2005, Roger won First Prize in the
"Anneliese Rothenberger Wettbewerb"
Singing Competition in Germany and
following this, he was finalist in the
"Nadia et Lili Boulanger" Lied
competition in Paris and obtained Third
Prize in the "Concours International de
Toulouse" in France.
His professional experience began during
his studies, with opera productions,
Liederabende and oratorio concerts in
Germany. Of special importance was the
two years' membership in the
Operastudio of the Opéra National du
Rhin in Strasbourg, France.
During this time, Roger performed in
Stravinsky’s Oedipus Rex and Le
Rossignol,
Mussorgsky’s
Boris
Godunov, Offenbach’s La belle Hélène
and Bizet’s Carmen.
