Starting April 30, Joseph Calleja brings his celebrated portrayal of the lovelorn Rodolfo in Puccini's La boheme to the stage of London's Royal Opera House.The six-performance run marks the Maltese tenor's first return to Covent Garden since he sang a "thrilling Adorno" (Financial Times) opposite Placido Domingo's Simon Boccanegra in 2010. Semyon Bychkov leads the stellar cast that includes soprano Carmen Giannattasio as the ill-fated Mimi. For those Brits unable to catch Joseph live at the Royal Opera House, he can be seen in a live broadcast to 27 movie screens across the UK on May 17. (http://www.roh.org.uk/about/bp-big-screens)

Recording of La traviata featuring Joseph Calleja nominated for Grammy Award

Joseph Calleja has been nominated for a Grammy Award in the category of Best Opera Recording for his portrayal of the lovelorn Alfredo in the Royal Opera House's production of La traviata (http://www.amazon.com/Verdi-Traviata-Renee-Fleming/dp/B004Q2TWR0). Recorded in the summer of 2009, the Opus Arte DVD features opera luminaries Renée Fleming as Violetta and Thomas Hampson as Germont.

Reviews: Metropolitan Lucia

Met Lucia"Calleja was at his best in the final scene, when Edgardo pours out his grief in a heartbreaking two-part aria, before stabbing himself so he can join Lucia in death. This was golden age vocalism, pure and simple." AP, New York
