REVIEWS
"Calleja was certainly the uncrowned king of the evening, vocally and dramatically present from the first note on, and dynamically flexible all the way to pianissimo yet never ostentatiously flaunting the power of his brightly timbred voice. The effortlessness all the way to his unforced top notes opens extraordinary future prospects."
Gerard Schroth, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung September 2005, La Bohème at the Oper Frankfurt.
