William Berger Introduces Our Opera and Film Guests -- Joseph Calleja

Joseph Calleja

I first was in the interview booth with this famous star from Malta the week of his Met Opera debut in 2006 (as the Duke in Rigoletto… you know, the one who sings that aria). We smirked at each other and goaded each other to crack up on air (we managed not to), and we’ve been ribbing each other – and appreciating great music together – ever since. One of the truly greatest voices in the history of opera, those who hear him live will be well qualified to bore people in the future by repeating “well, yes, but I heard Calleja sing that…” Website: JosephCalleja.com.
