Joseph Calleja

Only one lyric tenor on the scene today has the honeyed tone and ingratiating style to make comparisons to Pavarotti and Gigli seems serious, and it is Calleja, the man from Malta, who... is now maturing into an artist of the first rank." - New Yorker

Joseph Calleja

Any doubts about the most winning lyric “Italian” tenor since Pavarotti tackling this heavy Verdi repertoire are largely dispelled by the vitality of his sunny sound and the clarity of his diction. - The Sunday Times Hugh Canning

Joseph Calleja

...his clarion-clear, Mediterranean tenor with its distinctive fast vibrato has star quality to burn. - Richard Fairman , Financial Times

Golden Voice
of Malta

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), Maltese-born Joseph Calleja has quickly become one of the most acclaimed and sought-after tenors today. His expansive discography and frequent appearances on the world’s leading opera and concert stages prompted NPR to hail him as “arguably today’s finest lyric tenor,” and led to his being voted Gramophone magazine’s 2012 Artist of the Year.

Philanthropy
Foundations

Blessed with a golden voice and a heart to match Joseph has always felt a need to give back to the community.  In 2013 Joseph partnered with the Bank of Valletta to set up the BOV Joseph Calleja Foundation. The Foundation performs a social function in the Maltese community, helping underprivileged children and children with distinctive or unique artistic talents who are unable to develop or enhance their talents. However, Joseph did not stop there, in 2015 he teamed up with entrepreneur James Drake to launch the Drake Calleja Trust in London. The Trust Offers educational and performance opportunities to exceptional musicians from socially or economically disadvantaged backgrounds wishing to pursue their studies in London. Joseph also lends his talents for a good cause whenever his schedule permits, in 2017 he performed in a gala fundraising concert for the Inle Trust who’s aim is to raise money to provide water, sanitation, hygiene, education and training for the people living in Phaya Taung and elsewhere in Myanmar .
