Generalmusikdirektor of the Theater Chemnitz, Guillermo García Calvo has a long career as a conductor on international stages such as the Deutsche Oper Berlin, the Wiener Staatsoper and the Paris Opera, among others, and Spanish stages such as the Opera de Oviedo, the Gran Teatre del Liceu in Barcelona, the Teatro Real and the Teatro de la Zarzuela in Madrid.
He made his debut as an opera conductor in 2003 with Hansel and Gretel in the Schlosstheater Schönbrunn (at the age of 25) and, in 2009, he replaced Daniele Gatti in a new production of Macbeth at the Wiener Staatsoper, a stage with which he maintains a close relationship since 2002, having been responsible for the musical preparation of more than fifty titles in the opera repertoire and having conducted more than 200 opera and ballet performances: L'elisir d'amore, Rigoletto, La fille du régiment, Il Barbiere di Siviglia, Lucia di Lammermoor, The Magic Flute, La traviata, Nabucco, La Sonnambula, Coppélia, The Nutcracker, Onegin, Don Quixote, Giselle, Mayerling, Anna Karenina, Romeo and Juliet, Swan Lake or the recent world premiere of Persinette.

In 2016, he made his debut at the Florence Opera with the orchestra of Maggio Musicale Fiorentino conducting Goyescas by Enric Granados and El amor brujo by Manuel de Falla, and in the same year, debuted at the Palais Garnier in Paris.

Between 2020 and 2023 he has been Music Director of the Teatro de la Zarzuela in Madrid.
Guillermo García Calvo combines these positions with conducting operas and concerts on other stages, highlighting his work in titles such as Siegfried (Opera de Oviedo), which won him the Opera XXI award for best musical direction in the 2017/2018 season, Katiuska (Teatro de la Zarzuela), La Gioconda (Gran Teatre del Liceu), which won him the Amics del Liceu Critics’ Award for best musical direction, L'elisir d'amore at the New National Theater in Tokyo and Don Giovanni at the Opéra de Paris.

Born in Madrid in 1978, Guillermo García Calvo graduated from the Universität für Musik in Vienna with a thesis on Parsifal and with a concert in the Great Hall of Musikverein conducting the overture of Tannhäuser. Between 2000 and 2002 he completed his training as an assistant to Ivan Fischer and the Budapest Festival Orchestra and in the summer of 2007 with Christian Thielemann at the Bayreuth Festival as a music assistant for Der Ring des Nibelungen.
