JOSEPH CALLEJA A TRIBUTE TO MARIO LANZA Orquesta Sinfónica de Navarra Frédéric Chaslin Wiener Konzerthaus JOSEPH CALLEJA A TRIBUTE TO MARIO LANZA ÉdouaRD Lalo With his “Tribute to Mario Lanza,” Maltese tenor Overture to Le Roi d’Ys Joseph Calleja bows to one of his big idols, whom he has admired since he was a child: the AMIlcaRE PonchIELLI great Mario Lanza. Born in Philadelphia (USA) “Cielo e mar!” from La Gioconda in 1921 as the son of Italian immigrants, Lanza started a career in Hollywood and became, in the GEORGES BIZET late 1940s and 1950s, one of the most famous tenors Carmen Suite No. 2 - Chanson du Toréador in the world. Joseph Calleja, himself now a star tenor, dedicates “La fleur que tu m’avais jetée” from Carmen a whole concert program to his idol by singing the melodies, arias and popular songs that made Mario Lanza unforgettable… GIacoMO PuccINI La Tregenda from Le Villi “Calleja moves one’s heart” (Süddeutsche Zeitung) “Recondita armonia” from Tosca “E lucevan le stelle” from Tosca Conductor Frédéric Chaslin Orchestra Orquesta Sinfónica de Navarra GIusEppE VERDI Soloist Joseph Calleja (Tenor) Overture to I vespri siciliani Video Directors Victor Grandits “La donna è mobile” from Rigoletto Hanna Henigin PIETRO MascagnI Length approx. 90' “Mamma, quel vino è generoso” from Cavalleria rusticana Cat. no.
