INTRODUCTION

Lucía Marín is considered to be one of the best Spanish conductors at the moment: Art and Passion in the podium for the 21st century. The newspaper El País named Lucía Marín one of the Spanish rising stars in orchestra conducting. After her debut with the Spanish National Orchestra, the specialized press said:

“Lucía Marín got a sound sumptuous and bright (…) and above all, she connected with the public, with an effective and empathic interpretation, (…). Marín has a broad and beautiful gesture and an elegant force that she conveys to musicians”.

Her debut with the State Opera South Australia in the fall of 2024 was equally successful:

“Lucía Marín’s conducting impeccable. Her understanding of the level of energy required for each scene was copybook and she is a conductor who understands tempo – heaven.”

RECENT AND FUTURE HIGHLIGHTS

Lucía Marín has a wide symphonic and lyrical repertoire. In 2023, she made her debut in the Teatro de la Zarzuela and Teatre Principal de Palma, where she conducted La Traviata. Also, she has conducted Menotti’s Amahl and the Night Visitors at the Teatro Real, and in 2024 she made her debut at the ABAO in Bilbao with Mozart’s Die Entführung aus dem Serail.

In 2024 concerts take her to Antalya Symphony Orchestra (Turkey) and Orquesta Sinfónica de Castilla y León (Spain), among others.

Lucía Marín kicked off the 24/25 season with Lucia di Lammermoor at the State Opera South Australia, marking a highly anticipated Australian debut that earned rave reviews from the press.

This season she is also set to conduct Rossini’s Il Barbiere di Siviglia at Opera Oviedo, and Teatro de la Zarzuela’s production of Bretón’s La Verbena de la Paloma at Teatro de la Maestranza – Sevilla.

REVIEWS

Lucia di Lammermoor at State Opera South Australia – Nov. 2024

¨Finally the orchestra. Adelaide Symphony Orchestra continues to add work of the highest calibre to every State Opera of South Australia production. From the first ominous kettle drums to the final note they were vital, alive and sensitive to the action of the opera. Lucia Marin’s conducting impeccable. Her understanding of the level of energy required for each scene was copybook and she is a conductor who understands tempo – heaven.¨

– Adrain Barnes, glamadelaide.com.au

¨The orchestral score does tend to take a secondary role, but Spanish conductor Lucía Marín directs the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra with superbly judged tempos and authority. Their playing is precise and polished.¨

– Graham Strahle, indailysa.com.au

“Lucia Marin conducts the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra with an eye for detail bringing out every nuance. As always, their performance is perfection itself!“

– Barry Hill OAM, stagewhispers.com.au

¨The Adelaide Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Lucia Marin, added greatly to the overall excellence.¨

– Emily Sutherlandon, 5mbs.com

¨The Adelaide Symphony Orchestra, under the baton of acclaimed Spanish conductor Lucía Marín, provides a rich and nuanced musical backdrop. The music they produce is quite simply heavenly.¨

– Markus Hamence, onyourmarkus.au

¨The Adelaide Symphony, under the baton of Spanish conductor Lucía Marin in her Australian debut, rises firmly to the occasion, providing a taut and musically appropriate base on which this excellent ensemble brings to life an exciting tale of star-crossed lovers, family machinations, madness and, ultimately, tragedy.¨

– Brett Allen-Bayes, limelight-arts.com.au

Opera Gala at the LittleOpera Zamora Festival – Jul. 2024

“Lucía Marín easily led the OSCYL, her main work in this Gala was to make the voices show off, making the most of the orchestra as their accompanying instrument, excelling in the task. In the orchestral numbers, she tried to ensure that the orchestra did not become overwhelmed, and she managed, especially in Manon Lescaut’s Intermezzo, to distill the beauty and poetry that this piece demands.”

– Eustaquio Iribarren, ritmo.es

Die Entführung aus dem Serail at Bilbao Opera – Jan. 2024

“The Andalusian conductor Lucía Marín, preceded by solid fame, led the Euskadiko Orkestra with kid gloves from the colorful brief overture. Always tempering the sound volumes adapted to the characteristics of the voices singing on stage, the conductor gave a very well reading of the score.“

– Beckmesser

La Traviata at Teatro Principal de Palma – Jun. 2023

“Lucia Marin’s conducting was energetic and expressive, with fast and contrasting tempi. The Maestra demonstrated great control over the orchestra, achieving a sound full of nuances and vitality, with constant involvement in the most dramatic moments.“

–Eugenia Gallego, Ópera Actual
