Juan Sancho as Bajazet in “Tamerlano” in Vienna

Juan Sancho returns to one of his signature roles, Bajazet, on April 9, 2026, in a concert performance of Handel’s Tamerlano at the Wiener Musikverein, with the National Symphony Orchestra of Uzbekistan under the direction of Alibek Kabdurakhmanov. The cast also includes Zhenisbek Piyazov in the title role and Olga Peretyatko as Asteria.

The performance is presented by the Uzbekistan Art and Culture Development Foundation, with a musical reimagining by composer and pianist Kirill Richter.

Juan Sancho previously performed Bajazet with the National Symphony Orchestra of Uzbekistan in January 2026 at the Dubai Opera.

The Sevillian tenor is widely regarded as one of today’s leading interpreters of Early Music and the Baroque repertoire. He has received high praise for his portrayal of Bajazet, often considered one of the first great tenor roles in opera, including at the Internationale Händel Festspiele Göttingen.
