During the 2025–2026 season, he also worked with the Opéra de Paris, participating in productions including Nixon in China. Alongside his operatic engagements, Pablo Plaza has appeared in several concert performances throughout 2025 and 2026 at the Château de Ferrand, the Auditorium de Renens, and the Haute École de Musique de Lausanne (HEMU).
