“Cristian is a student of the ESAEM School of Performing Arts in Malaga. His starring role in the musical “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” was what opened the doors for him (…)

One of the casting directors of The Lion King saw him perform at the ESAEM Gala at the Cervantes Theatre and encouraged his mother to audition for the successful Madrid musical.”

El Sur Newspaper

“For me ESAEM is my home. I started when I was four years old, I have not been aware of everything they have taught me until now. Not only as discipline, I have always been a bit rebellious hahahaha, but also with the personal treatment and affection of my teachers. My wonderful classmates have always brought out the best in me, with a lot of patience. When I step on stage I always remember ESAEM. I miss them.”
