                  Gabriel Díaz has performed in a large number of festivals in Spain, Portugal, France, England, Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Estonia, Poland, Norway, Morocco, Mexico, Colombia, Peru and the United States, as well as in major venues such as the Opéra Nationale de Montpellier, Opéra de Reims, Centre for Fine Arts (Brussels), Gran Teatre del Liceu (Barcelona), deSingel (Antwerp), De Doelen (Rotterdam), Konzerthaus (Viena), Warsaw Chamber Opera, National Theatre (London), Teatro Mayor (Bogotá) or Nezahualcóyotl in Mexico City.

                  He has been invited to give masterclasses at the University of Málaga, Centro de Iniciativas Culturales (University of Sevilla), Muestra de Música Antigua Castillo de Aracena, Coro de la Sociedad Musical de Sevilla, Centro Nacional de las Artes (CENART) and Sistema Nacional de Fomento Musical in Mexico.

                  He has taken part in many recordings for Almaviva, Alia Vox, Enchiriadis, Arsis, NB Musica, Ricercar, Lauda Musica and Alpha, some of them winners of awards such as the Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik, Critics' Choice Gramophone, 5 Diapason, Diapason D'or and FestClásica.

He also performed in the dance show Until the Lions with the Akram Khan Company, founded and directed by Akram Khan, one of the most celebrated contemporary dance coreographers.
