If he is one of the most inventive figures on the musical scene, Emiliano Gonzalez Toro is first and foremost an exceptional singer: with his technical mastery, a beauty of tone, his inventive expressiveness and a passionate love of texts, he has tackled the masterpieces of the 17th and 18th centuries with the greatest ensembles and the greatest conductors.

From Paris (Opéra de Paris, Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, Châtelet, Philharmonie) to Amsterdam (Concertgebouw and Opera), from Toulouse (Théâtre du Capitole), Lille (Opéra), Strasbourg (Opéra du Rhin) to Zürich (Opéra and Tonhalle), Barcelona (Teatre del Liceu, Palau de la Música and L'Auditori), Madrid (Teatro Real and Auditorio nacional) or Geneva (Grand Théâtre and Victoria Hall), Emiliano has been applauded all over Europe.

French baroque opera is one of the main artistic thrusts of his activity. The title role in Platée with Christophe Rousset and Dardanus with Raphaël Pichon, multiple roles in Les Paladins with William Christie, Rameau occupies a central place. Lully is not ignored, as witness Roland, Alceste, Armide and Phaéton sung with Christophe Rousset.
Emiliano's breathtaking virtuosity makes him an ideal interpreter of the masters of opera seria: Aquilo in Farnace with Diego Fasolis and Vitaliano in Il Giustino with Ottavio Dantone, Andrea Marcon and René Jacobs for Vivaldi; Giuliano in Rodrigo and Tempo in Il Trionfo del Tempo with Thibault Noally, or of course the tenor part in The Messiah with Hervé Niquet for Handel. Emiliano regularly takes on Mozart roles, such as Agenore in Il Re Pastore with William Christie, alongside Rolando Villazon; the High Priest in Idomeneo with Emmanuelle Haïm then Jérémie Rhorer or, very recently, Basilio in Le Nozze di Figaro at the Théâtre du Capitole in Toulouse.

Emiliano Gonzalez Toro founded the ensemble I Gemelli with Mathilde Étienne to share his vast experience of the Italian Seicento (in particular, Claudio Monteverdi), which he loves and serves marvellously. In 2019, I Gemelli made a stunning debut at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées with L'Orfeo, the most emblematic work of all, with Emiliano singing the title role. Shortly afterwards, the Théâtre du Capitole in Toulouse hosted this production for two evenings, followed by an equally acclaimed semi-staged version at L'Arsenal in Metz. In 2021, he conducts and sings the title role in Il Ritorno d'Ulisse in patria before taking on L'Incoronazione di Poppea in May 2023, two productions that he conducts at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris, the Victoria Hall in Geneva and L'Arsenal in Metz.
In September 2023, the Gemelli Factory label released a recording of Il Ritorno d'Ulisse in patria. This new work by the I Gemelli ensemble, co-directed by Emiliano González Toro and Mathilde Étienne, was immediately awarded a Diapason d'Or, a Choc de Classica and a Diamant by Opéra Magazine.

The 2023-2024 season will open with a major tour of Il Ritorno d'Ulisse in patria, taking in Europe's greatest concert halls. Emiliano will then conduct and sing Monteverdi's Vespers of the Virgin in Geneva, as a prelude to the recording for Gemelli Factory (to be released in 2025).
Other collaborations include the role of Dancaire in Carmen with René Jacobs, and Aeneas in Graupner's Dido Queen of Carthage with La Cetra in Basel and Amsterdam with Andrea Marcon. Emiliano will also be touring and recording Bach's Mass in B minor with Pygmalion and Raphaël Pichon.
This rich season will come to a close with the release of a new album (again for the Gemelli Factory label) fusing Latin music and opera: La misa criolla by Ariel Ramirez with The Amazing Keystone big band and a number of prestigious guests.
