Performers
Juan Diego Flórez, Tenor
Vincenzo Scalera, Piano

Juan Diego Flórez is a superstar tenor adored by fans and critics worldwide. With “phrasing and breath control [that] are things to wonder at” (The Guardian), his voice has been likened to “the engine in a Porsche 911; when you hear it, you know you’re in the presence of something finely tuned and luxurious” (Opera News). Flórez’s most recent Carnegie Hall recital “had the audience exploding in joy” (The New Criterion), and it’s safe to say this concert will, too, with selections by Rossini, Donizetti, Verdi, Puccini, and more.
