Gener is also a writer and visited the Auditorio de Tenerife in February with ˋLove, love, loveˊ. On Wednesday he returns to delight us with his piano music

 

Next Wednesday, the 7th at 7:30 p.m., the Auditorio de Tenerife programs a conference in the Chamber Hall with the musician and educator Ramón Gener to break down all details of the new Ópera de Tenerife's season. The tickets for this show cost €8. Gener will play the piano himself and will also have musical accompaniment.

This musician and educator will offer different perspectives from which to discover the 2023-2024 season titles of Ópera de Tenerife: the feelings, the music, the topics, and the characters... A great opportunity for all those who wish to learn more and for those who have never dared to go to an opera.

Before and after the conference, the Agapea bookshop of Tenerife will set up a stand outside the auditorium’s hall, where the books of Ramón Gener, who will be signing copies at the end of the event, will be available for purchase. He has published three books titled Si Beethoven pudiera escucharme (2013), El amor te hará inmortal (2016) and Beethoven, un músico sobre un mar de nubes (2020).

The operatic proposals of this season are María Moliner, a new creation opera by Antoni Parera Fons (October); Manon, by Jules Massenet, a co-production by Tenerife, Chile and Oviedo (November); the concert version of Samson et Dalila by Camille Saint-Saëns (December); the chamber opera Trouble in Tahiti by Leonard Bernstein (January); the Auditorium's own production Rusalka, by Antonín Dvorák (March); the family opera L'enfant et les Sortilèges, by Maurice Ravel (April); and the opera gala Verdi singular (Unique Verdi) by Giuseppe Verdi (June).

Ramón Gener's lectures in Tenerife take place throughout the season in the Chamber Hall at 7:30 p.m.; in each case, the nearest opera will be highlighted. The next meeting with the renowned communicator is on 4 October to talk about María Moliner; on 7 November to talk about Manon; the 28 November will be the turn of Samson et Dalila; the 17 January will be the turn of Trouble in Tahiti, and the 21 February of Rusalka.

Ramón Gener was born in Barcelona and holds a degree in Humanities and Business Studies. He started to study music at the Higher Music Conservatory Liceu when he was 6 years old to complete his training later on with the pianist Anna Maria Albors.

The soprano Victoria de los Ángeles recommended he study singing under her supervision. He finished his singing training in Warsaw with the baritone Jerzy Artysz and in Barcelona with the tenor Eduard Giménez. After a career lasting several years as a baritone, he began a new phase as a musical educator, offering conferences about classical music and opera.

The echo of these conferences took him into the world of television. He started at the regional level on TV3 with the programme Òpera en Texans. He then continued at the national and international level with programmes such as This is Opera; This is Art and 200, una noche en el Prado. His programmes have been recorded in Spanish and English; they have been broadcast and continue to be broadcast in many countries around the world. He currently collaborates with the radio programme No es un día cualquiera for Radio Nacional de España (RNE)

He keeps on giving conferences, lectures and is invited to collaborate in RNE. Likewise, he is immersed in preparing his new TV program and his new book. Ramón Gener visited the Auditorio de Tenerife for the last time in February this year to present the show Love, love, love with José Corbacho.
