Reviews
A truly remarkable tenor in the thankless role of Tebaldo: Joseph Calleja not only stood out in timbre and good looks, but also through the musicality with which he used his limber, agile and cleanly produced, voluminous voice, and yet kept it flexible and free of the usual affectations."Walter Weidinger, Die Presse
REVIEWS: I CAPULETI E I MONTECCHI
3 performances as Tebaldo in Bellini's opera I Capuleti e i Montecchi at the Vienna Concert Hall, April 2008.
Wiener Zeitung
Joseph Calleja (Tebaldo) impressively put his opulent tenor voice through its paces and soared to beautifully phrased, fervent tones.
Markus Hennerfeind, Wiener Zeitung
ORF Morning Magazine
Joseph Calleja not only impressed with the effortlessness of his high notes, but also because his voice has become darker and has lost two thirds of its hefty vibrato - which gladdened many a heart.

Die Kleine Zeitung
The only one who could hold his own with the ladies was Joseph Calleja, who imbued the role of Tebaldo with a combative profile presented with great cultivation.
