Live singing masterclass with tenor Joseph Calleja & student Andris Kipļuks / RJAcademy 2020/21

Описание: Online singing masterclass of the Riga Jurmala Academy led by tenor Joseph Calleja.

Joseph Calleja is already one of the most sought-after tenors on both sides of the Atlantic. His voice and stylishness regularly inspire comparisons to “legendary singers from earlier eras: Jussi Björling, Beniamino Gigli, even Enrico Caruso”. (Associated Press)

Calleja made his opera debut at the age of nineteen as Macduff in Verdi’s Macbeth. This performance took place at Malta’s Astra Theatre, shortly before his win at the Hans Gabor Belvedere Competition, which launched his international career.

Singer Joseph Calleja has become one of the most famous tenors of our day. In 2012, Gramophone magazine named him Artist of the Year, and in 2016 he received an Opera News award. Calleja’s recordings (released by Decca Classics) have been nominated for multiple Grammys.
