Guillermo García Calvo was born in MAdrid and studied at the University of Music in Vienna. He continued his studies as assistant of Iván Fischer and the Budapest Festival Orchestra, as well as assistant of Christian Thielemann for the production Der Ring des Nibelungen at the Bayreuther Festspiele. In 2003 he made his debut with a performance of Hansel and Gretel at the Schlosstheater Schönbrunn.

He is a regular guest at the Vienna State Opera, where he conducted more than 200 performances, including Die Zauberflöte, Macbeth, La traviata, Il barbiere di Siviglia, L’elisir d’amore, and Lucia di Lammermoor. Furthermore, he conducted in major houses and festivals inside and outside of Europe, including the Opéra national de Paris (Don Giovanni), Deutsche Oper Berlin (u.a. Les pêcheurs de perles, Carmen, and Rigoletto), Gran Teatre del Liceu in Barcelona (La Gioconda), Opéra de Oviedo (Ring cycle, and Tristan und Isolde), Opéra de Nice (Il barbiere di Siviglia), Teatro Principal de Palma (Salome), Teatro Verdi di Trieste (La sonnambula), and the New National Theatre in Tokyo (L’elisir d’amore).

In May 2016, he conducted the first recording of Ramón Carnicer’s Elena e Malvina together with the National Orchestra of Spain.

In addition to his operatic work, Guillermo García Calvo has developed an extensive concert repertoire and he makes regular appearances with renowned orchestras such as the London Symphony Orchestra, Hamburger Symphoniker, Essener Philharmoniker, Deutsche Radio Philharmonie Saarbrücken Kaiserslautern, Orchester der Deutschen Oper Berlin, Orchestra del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino and the National Symphony Orchestra of Mexico.

At the start of the 2017/18 season, he was appointed General Music Director of the Theater Chemnitz and Chief Conductor of the Robert-Schumann-Philharmonie. Wagner’s Operas have since played a central role in the repertoire of this theater. Since January 2020, Guillermo García Calvo has also been the Music Director of the Teatro de la Zarzuela in Madrid.

Highlights of the past seasons include productions such as Curro Vargas, with which he won the renowned „Premio Campoamor“ in 2014, Siegfried (Opera of Oviedo), which won him the Opera XXI award for best musical direction in the 2017/18 season, and La Gioconda (Gran Teatre del Liceu), with which he won the Amics del Liceu Critics Award for best musical direction.
