JAVIER CAMARENA
Piano Ángel Rodríguez
Songs by Francesco Paolo Tosti.
Programme
Javier Camarena is for many "the voice that caresses the soul". His singing is sincere and elegant. The perfect homogeneity of his voice, its luminous timbre and the facility for high, firm and bright notes are striking. His interpretations are always nuanced and respectful of the score. He also has a natural gift for connecting with the public. It is no accident that he is one of the great tenors of today and has been recognised as the best male singer at the opera Oscars, the International Opera Awards 2021. The charismatic Mexican tenor continues to earn standing ovations from the public and praise from the critics as a specialist in Italian bel canto opera. Audiences always want encores, whether at the Metropolitan Opera, Covent Garden or the Teatro Real, theatres where he has had to repeat the famous aria with the nine high Cs from La fille du régiment, in response to the clamorous requests by his audience. On his first evening at Les Arts, he performs a programme around the composer Francesco Paolo Tosti, author of hundreds of songs that have never lost their place in the repertoire of the best tenors.
