CAMARENA SINGS ROSSINI
JAVIER CAMARENA, tenor
ANGEL RODRIGUEZ, piano
The Mexican tenor Javier Camarena is the preeminent Mozart and Bel Canto specialist of his generation. Praised for his burnished tone, gleaming high notes, flawless coloratura, he regularly appears in leading roles at the world’s top opera houses.
After a thunderous ovation, the dazzling tenor was recently compelled for the second time to sing a rare encore at the Metropolitan Opera, where encores are simply not allowed. This honour has only been awarded so far to Luciano Pavarotti and Juan Diego Flórez.
