Countertenor
Logan Lopez Gonzalez
-
Praised for his sensitive, luminous timbre and vivid stage presence, Belgian countertenor Logan Lopez Gonzalez moves fluidly between Baroque opera, contemporary creation, and music theatre. An artist of exceptional dramatic instinct, he brings a narrative intensity to both major European stages and his own multidisciplinary creations.
His work regularly takes him to major European houses and festivals, including La Monnaie/De Munt, Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, Theater an der Wien, Opéra Royal de Versailles, and the opera houses of Marseille, Nancy, and Dijon, collaborating with coductors such as Leonardo García Alarcón and Alain Altinoglu.
Baroque repertoire lies at the core of his career, with prominent role credits including the title role in Händel’s Ottone, Sesto in Cavalli’s Pompeo Magno, Speranza in Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo, and Argone in Händel’s Sosarme. In the 2026/27 season, he reunites with Cappella Mediterranea and Leonardo García Alarcón as Paggio in Cavalli’s Ercole amante at Opéra de Dijon.
This Baroque foundation organically informs his close relationship with contemporary music. Key creations and productions include Icarus in SOLAR, Icarus Burning at La Monnaie, Vasco Mendonça’s The Girl, the Hunter and the Wolf in Portugal and Brazil, Šimon Voseček’s OGRES at the National Theatre Prague, and Be My Superstar at Opera Ballet Vlaanderen and Dutch National Opera. He also explores the works of Salvatore Sciarrino and performs Der Narr in Berg’s Wozzeck at La Monnaie in 2026/27.

Placing physical movement at the center of his performance style, Lopez Gonzalez collaborates regularly with the dance world, notably featuring in Bach’s St John Passion choreographed by Sasha Waltz, Igor Shyshko’s Malus at KVS and La Monnaie, and La Petite Annonce faite à Marie with Michèle Anne De Mey.
This multidisciplinary experience inspired him to devise his own stage projects. He co-created and stars in 555: Verlaine en prison alongside director Eleanor Burke—an intimate, queer re-examination of the poet’s life through poetry, music, letters, and drama. Initiated at La Monnaie before touring to the Royal Opera House, Grimeborn Opera Festival, and Cité Bleue in Geneva, his performance earned an Off West End Theatre Award nomination for Best Performance (Opera), with Opera Magazine praising his physical and musical intensity. He is currently developing a new multidisciplinary creation for 2028.
An active recitalist, his concert highlights include performances at BOZAR in Brussels (Songs in the Mirror and Sciarrino’s Studi per l’intonazione del mare with I Solisti), as well as recitals across China, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Italy, and the UK. Lopez Gonzalez studied at the Conservatoire Royal de Mons and the Royal Academy of Music in London.
A former Young Soloist at La Monnaie, Young Artist at the National Opera Studio, and Britten Pears Young Artist, he is a laureate of several international competitions, including the Mirjam Helin, Froville, Bell’Arte, and Marmande singing competitions.
