Blessed with a golden age voice that routinely inspires comparisons to “legendary singers from earlier eras: Jussi Björling, Beniamino Gigli, even Enrico Caruso” (Associated Press), the Maltese-born Joseph Calleja has become one of the most sought-after tenors on both sides of the Atlantic. At only 34 years of age, he has sung 28 principal roles and performed on most of the world’s leading opera stages, including New York’s Metropolitan Opera, London’s Royal Opera House at Covent Garden, and the Vienna Staatsoper. At the end of September he was named the 2012 Gramophone “Artist of the Year”.

'... Calleja is a world-class operatic tenor who has a wonderful way with Verdi, this sophisticated 'light music' brings out an irresistible 'open-heartedness' in him. The top note rings; the sentiment gushes; the air vibrates with passion. It's magic.' (Metro September 2012)

'... a powerful, flexible and fine voice he certainly has . . . it's the orchestration, and Steven Mercurio's conducting of the BBC Concert Orchestra, that makes this so worth hearing: lush, full-blown and hugely atmospheric. A definite best buy. (Alexander Bryce, Scotsman, December 2012)
