Tobias started his performing career at the age of eight, singing with the Children’s Choir of Teatro Argentino in numerous operas. He has appeared as a soloist in productions including Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte and Wagner’s Lohengrin. In 2017, Tobias made his debut at Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires, performing the role of Pollicino’s father in Werner Henze’s Pollicino, as well as covering in Rossini’s La Cenerentola.

Performing throughout the UK, South America, and Europe, Tobias has appeared at venues such as Teatro Colón, St James’s Piccadilly, Buxton Opera House, Longborough Opera House, Cambridge’s West Road Concert Hall and Milton Court Concert Hall at Barbican Centre.

A frequent presence at opera festivals, Tobias has performed at Buxton International Festival in 2022 and 2023, where he sung in productions such as Viva la Mamma, La donna del Lago, La sonnambula, and the premiere of The Land of Might Have Been with music by Ivor Novello. In 2024, he made his Longborough Festival Opera main-stage debut as Parpignol in Puccini’s La Bohème.

Passionate about outreach projects, Tobias values the opportunity to share music, imagination, and storytelling with children, and to witness opera spark curiosity and excitement in real time. He has appeared as Nemorino in Longborough Festival Opera’s Playground Opera production of Donizetti's L’elisir d’amore, bringing opera to new audiences, and in May 2026 revisited the role of Tamino in Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte for Warwick – A Singing Town in collaboration with Royal Ballet and Opera.
