Joseph Calleja is one of the most exciting lyric tenors in the world.
Blessed with a golden-age voice which has inspired comparisons by the Associated Press to “legendary singers from earlier eras including Jussi Björling, Beniamino Gigli, even Enrico Caruso”, the Maltese-born artist has quickly become one of the most acclaimed and sought-after tenors.
His frequent appearances on the world’s leading opera and concert stages prompted him to be hailed as “arguably today’s finest lyric tenor” and led to his being voted Gramophone magazine’s 2012 Artist of the Year. The Grammy-nominated recording artist for Decca Classics has release five solo albums for the label.
His extensive discography includes a thrilling Verdi album and a hugely popular tribute to Mario Lanza, whilst his performance of Puccini’s famous ‘Nessun dorma’ at The Last Night of the Proms at the Royal Albert Hall in 2012 was nothing short of electrifying.
