Gerónimo Rauch, the Argentine who conquered Europe and returns home with ‘Cinema All In'
Known as 'the Argentine who made it big in European musicals,' he has starred in none other than Jesus Christ Superstar, Les Misérables, The Phantom of the Opera, and The Physician, earning applause and admiration wherever he goes. Yes, Gerónimo Rauch is synonymous with musical theater, but he has also become Argentina's very own 'crooner'—in the style of Frank Sinatra or Michael Bublé—who captivates audiences on stage by performing songs from every genre with undeniable talent, charisma, and versatility. He always celebrates the chance to return home, and this time he arrives at Espacio Origami to present Cinema All In, an intimate dinner show that pays tribute to the greatest songs from the silver screen. It's a 360-degree immersive experience featuring 25 performers on stage including musicians, dancers, and singers. The powerful musical menu is accompanied by top-tier cuisine, promising a one-of-a-kind evening of music perfectly paired with an exclusive dinner. The setlist? Songs from films such as The Godfather, Footloose, La La Land, A Star Is Born, Rocky, and Singin' in the Rain, among many other iconic movie soundtrack classics.

At 17, he had the opportunity to record songs for the TV show Verano del 98 and, thrilled, stepped into a professional recording studio for the first time. But when asked about his big break, he's quick to clarify: 'It came in 2000, when after several rounds of auditions, I was chosen to be part of Les Misérables.' 'My big break came in 2000, when I was cast in Les Misérables ' His debut at Teatro Ópera with that production, he says, 'was the greatest gift.' From there, dreams slowly started to come true—step by step, but steadily—until he became the lead in some of the most acclaimed musicals in Spain and London. In Buenos Aires, he has already performed three times at the Teatro Colón and hopes there will be many more. 'It's such a powerful experience to step onto that stage,' he confesses, 'I'll always keep preparing for the next opportunity.' You're known as the Argentine who conquered the European musical theater scene. Was it a tough road? Thanks for the compliment! I think every artist's path is difficult because of the instability that comes with this profession. But every character I've played has taught me something—I've always kept evolving and growing. Today, after all I've experienced, my life in Spain is very peaceful: I work and I'm also a father. I can honestly say I live a simple, happy life. You've played Jesus Christ, Jean Valjean, the Phantom, and the Doctor in The Physician. All very different characters—how do you approach each role? Whenever I start shaping a character, I try to be a blank slate and fully trust the creative team's direction. Often, I'll do some background research if there's an original novel—which is usually the case—but then I just let myself play until I find the character's truth within me. You've also developed a musical career in parallel, with albums and live performances. What kind of repertoire do you enjoy most and why? I enjoy it all. I love telling other people's stories in musicals just as much as I love sharing my own in concerts. At the end of the day, it's all about creating emotion—that's the magic of our profession. 'Our profession is all about creating emotions' Do you prefer acting, singing, or dancing? Unfortunately, I can't dance at all—which is why I chose the best dancers and choreographers for Cinema All In! I think singing and acting are the best ways for me to express myself. What can audiences expect from the show you're bringing to Buenos Aires? It's the most incredible show I've ever produced in my solo career. There's definitely a before and after for me with this concept, which combines performance, music, gourmet dining, emotions, 25 artists on stage, and a soundtrack that everyone knows and loves—the music that has scored our lives. ' Cinema All In is the most incredible show I've ever produced in my solo career' What do you love most about coming back to Argentina? The people. Argentina is so special—our DNA is unique. We're passionate, generous, we live everything intensely, and as an artist, that's something to be deeply grateful for.
