Carlos Domínguez-Nieto

Defined by specialized critics as an example of an “authentic lesson in musical direction” (Codalario), and with “the search for the assembly of timbres being one of the most admirable aspects of his conducting” (Scherzo), Carlos Domínguez-Nieto can currently be considered one of the most versatile and thorough directors of his generation.

Domínguez-Nieto has been Music and Artistic Director of the Orquesta de Córdoba (Spain) between 2018 and 2023, of the Eisenach Opera Theater (Germany) between 2009 and 2015, and of the Munich Chamber Opera (Germany) from 2000 to 2005, remaining nowadays as the main guest conductor of the latter institution. An expert in the great symphonic repertoire and a great connoisseur of Bruckner’s work, he regularly conducts several of the most important European orchestras, mainly German and Austrian, such as the Münchner Philharmoniker, the Münchner Symphoniker or the Münchner Rundfunkorchester in Munich, the WDR Sinfonieorchester or the Gürzenich-Orchester in Cologne, the Staatskapelle Halle, the Brucknerorchester Linz or the Mozarteum Orchester Salzburg in Austria, or Spanish orchestras such as the Orquesta de Radiotelevisión Española, Real Filharmonía de Galicia, Orquesta Filarmónica de Gran Canaria, Oviedo Filarmonía, Orquesta Sinfónica de Castilla y León or Orquesta Filarmónica de Málaga. He has also worked with prestigious international orchestras in other European countries, and in Argentina, Mexico, Venezuela and Bolivia, collaborating with soloists such as Anastasia Kobekina, Rosa Torres Pardo, Josu de Solaun, Pacho Flores, Leticia Moreno or Juan Manuel Cañizares.

Domínguez-Nieto completed his musical studies at the Hochschule für Musik und darstellende Kunst in Vienna with Leopold Hager and Uros Lajovic, and at the Mozarteum University of Salzburg with Dennis-Russell Davis and Jorge Rotter. He made his debut at the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires conducting the Buenos Aires Philharmonic in 1995. In 1997 and 1998 he was assistant conductor of the National Youth Orchestra of Spain (JONDE) and the youth orchestra Münchner Jugendorchester (Germany), working with Mstislav Rostropovich and András Ligeti. In 1999 he won the position of assistant conductor to Iván Fischer in the Budapest Festival Orchestra, and in 2001 he was awarded with the First Prize in the VIII International Orchestra Conducting Competition of the Oriente Foundation in Lisbon. As opera musical director, he made his debut in 2000 in Salzburg with “Der Freischütz” by C. M. von Weber. Since then, he has directed more than 60 opera and ballet titles of the great repertoire, collaborating with outstanding lyrical voices such as Ainhoa ​​Arteta, Raquel Lojendio or Francisco Araiza.

He has recorded for Sony-BMG and the Rundfunkorchester München, with the Münchner Symphoniker, the Mozarteum Orchester Salzburg, the WDR Sinfonieorchester, the Orquesta Filarmónica de Gran Canaria and the Philharmonie Baden-Baden orchestra among others, with soloists such as Francisco Araiza, Olga Scheps, Wen-Sinn Yang or Ingolf Turban.
