REVIEWS: PUCCINI GALA
Gala concert at the Teatro Perez Galdos on Gran Canaria, celebrating the 150th anniversary of the birth of Giacomo Puccini
Diario de Las Palmas
"The great protagonist of the concert […] was without doubt the Maltese tenor Joseph Calleja, a singer with a solid technique, ample registry and a mature and resounding voice. A thoroughly pleased audience offered him the most sincere applauses and “bravos” of the evening in arias like Orgia, chimera dall’occhio vitreo (Edgar), Recondita Armonia (Tosca) or Bravo al tuo fresco sonriso (La Rondine)."
Diario de Las Palmas, Roberto Díaz Ramos, 18 December 2008

"[…] the performance of the lyric tenor Joseph Calleja, with perfect pitch and a silvery tone, magnificently inspired in Recondita armonia, the aria from Tosca, for which he received one of the loudest applauses of the evening."
