Joseph Calleja - Verdi (CD)
Andrea Bocelli described him as his favorite tenor in the world of lyric music. Having performed at the world's greatest opera houses, tenor Joseph Calleja returns with his new album “ Verdi ,” which will be released on Decca Classics. On this album, Calleja explores the light and dark in Verdi's heroic tenor roles, bringing Verdi's masterpieces such as Aida, Don Carlo, and Il Trovatore to life! Calleja began singing at the age of 16, first in his church choir and then with formal training from Maltese tenor Paul Asciak. Calleja's new album also reflects his blossoming live career—he regularly performs at the world's leading opera houses and will be singing in Puccini's Tosca at the Royal Opera House in London from January.
