I love this man, he's so real, genuine and honest in his performances 👌💖 And who can resist his happy, bubbly and warm personality! His eyes light up when he smiles and cannot hide his affection for the British people, wears his heart on his sleeve 😍 God bless him and God bless Malta for bringing us the gift that is Joseph Calleja!
I agree with Degiorgio. Only idiots can dislike anything so beautifully executed. Brought tears to my eyes. It just couldn't have been better. A big WELL DONE, Mr Calleja. You made us truly proud. Bravu u Prosit tassew. tc.
Brilliant Tenor......Brilliant Voice......you really showed what you can offer. Good luck for your future. The Maltese are behind you always. Mario Mosta
I had the privilege of seeing this man sing Polione at the Met in October 2017. His sound reminds me of Bjoerling and so does his musicianship. He is a fine artist and a friendly, kind hearted man who talked with me after Norma at the Met. One of the finest tenors around today.
Well done Joseph. Superb performance by a top artist. Bring tears to my eyes. Watched the whole programme with pride. Make us proud to be Maltese, and shows the talent that can be found in such a small island. Bravo!!
I first heard Josef Calleja singing this, thanks to RUclips, in 2012. It was definitely one of the all-time great performances of Nessun Dorma and I was instantly a fan. Three or four years later, I was sitting on a bench in the English Garden in Munich and an unshaven character in a track suit came ambling past. I didn't think much about it until he was about fifty yards past, when I suddenly thought I know that face. It was too late to go running after him but I sent him a message on Twitter the following evening, explaining that if I had caught up with him, I would have told him what a fine singer he was. He re-tweeted my message in what must have been the interval of his performance at the Bayerische Staatsoper.
Mr. Calleja performs this incredible aria with crispness, clarity, and with conviction. This is a wonderful addition to those that performed that magnificent aria...~~CR~~
FOR ME JOSEPH CALLEJA IS ONE OF THE WORLD GREATEST TENOR'S , I AM SURE THAT HE WILL BE FAMOUS AS THE LATE TENOR MARIO LANZA . AND I AM SAY THAT NOT BECOUSE I AM MALTESE ! THANKS JOSEPH YOU ARE MAKING US SO PROUD TO BE MALTESE !
Oh my! a great tenor is here. His voice reminds me of Kraus but somehow his voice is sweeter and darker I'm astonished. thanks for the upload. God bless the internet and RUclips.
I was told that the lyrics of opera were usually simplistic even trite, it was the power of the singer and orchestra that made them so memorable, this video with lyrics proves that correct. loved it anyway.
I was lucky to hear his voice for the first time, when I was Germany in 2013 and was immediately enthralled; it may not have the volume of Pavarotti, but I'd give anything the have been able to sing like that, when I did.
A super star was born!!He and Rlondo Villazon are liding todays Opera.At our sorrow Dmitry is dad.Viva Calleja!Viva Villazon!The opera has a briliant future!!!
I believe this is absolutely the best version of Nessun Dorma I have heard to-date. Magnificent! Flawless. Sung with great controlled passion. Truly wondrous to behold.
Sorry to disagree with you, it's a decent enough version don't get me wrong but it's far from the best version. He cuts several notes off and rushes upto the big finale to gather his breath, Pavarotti made it look and sound effortless sung in a higher timbre and held the power notes for longer and in my opinion his version remains the benchmark.
And Luciano was singing those "benchmark" versions between the ages of 45 and 55. Wait till Calleja gets to that age. If you were in your early 30's and headlining Last Night of the Proms you would be nervous too...
I was lucky to be at the 2012 Last Night "promming" some 15 ft away, so witnessed this performance live. Believe me he can sing, and more than that he has charisma and charm. He's not Pavarotti; he's Joseph Calleja. He can never be anything else., which is just how it should be. As for those lecturing types with opinions on purity and credibility, as far as I know, Calleja never had to duet with Simon Le Bon, as the Big man did. Celebrate difference, not bitterness
Don't talk rubbish, and show a little more respect to the 3 finest Tenors of the modern era. Joseph is good, but he's nowhere near as good as Domingo, Pavarotti, or Carrerras.
What can one say but, WOW!!!
His voice brings tears to my eyes!!! Spectacular voice.
This is natural born talent!! Never heard of him before. What a voice! Literally made me cry. ❤😢
I love this man, he's so real, genuine and honest in his performances 👌💖 And who can resist his happy, bubbly and warm personality! His eyes light up when he smiles and cannot hide his affection for the British people, wears his heart on his sleeve 😍 God bless him and God bless Malta for bringing us the gift that is Joseph Calleja!
I sincerely appreciate the love and support, thank you so much ❤️
Magnifique
I could watch Joseph Calleja all day and night, he is wonderful. Hope he comes back to the proms sometime soon
I agree with Degiorgio. Only idiots can dislike anything so beautifully executed. Brought tears to my eyes. It just couldn't have been better. A big WELL DONE, Mr Calleja. You made us truly proud. Bravu u Prosit tassew. tc.
He is in full command of his voice, and what a voice it is !!!
I sincerely appreciate the love and support, thank you so much ❤️
@@josephcalleja9289 truly an inspiring amazing voice that you have!!! Keep it up.

I was told that the lyrics of opera were usually simplistic even trite, it was the power of the singer and orchestra that made them so memorable, this video with lyrics proves that correct. loved it anyway.
Love him!! He always looks like he has so much joy singing.... Beautiful
That is without doubt the greatest rendition of that sing ever sung. That is faultless perfection
🤣🤣🤣
GREAT TENOR sings from the heart
Joseph Caleba has a great voice would love to hear him again.
I sincerely appreciate the love and support, thank you so much ❤️
I agree wholeheartedly that his is a voice of greatness. Such warmth, sweetness, power and heart I never hoped to hear again! Bravo maestro!
I was lucky to hear his voice for the first time, when I was Germany in 2013 and was immediately enthralled; it may not have the volume of Pavarotti, but I'd give anything the have been able to sing like that, when I did.
MAKING MALTA PROUD!!!!! thankyou joseph
Only just discovered this guy. What a marvelous Tenor, and still so young!
A superb performance what a fantastic voice.
Gorgeous, Joseph !! What a nice smile
Thanks Joseph , You are making us so proud to be maltese ! Thanks for everything Joseph , god bless you , your kids and whole family !:)

Absolutely magical! Joseph Calleja, the magician!
simply outstanding - making us maltese proud of such talent - good luck Mr Calleja and hope that we see more of you in the future
Well done. This is now one of my favourite songs :)x
I love him very much!!! I would like to see him in Budapest.
What a delightful man to watch and hear -- he looks like he is just having a great time, loves performing and loves the crowd. Bravo!
proud to be a Calleja!
No one performs Nessun Dorma like Pavarotti, the 8/9 seconds final high note..Calleja's performance is outstanding.
*****
Pavarotti's favorite tenor was Giuseppe Di Stefano.
Bjorling and Corelli sing the best Nessun Dorma.
I wept. So beautiful.
A super star was born!!He and Rlondo Villazon are liding todays Opera.At our sorrow Dmitry is dad.Viva Calleja!Viva Villazon!The opera has a briliant future!!!
That moment when the conductor looks to the soloist for the cue to move on...incredible musicianship and craft!
If this does not bring tears to your eyes, you're dead!
Bjorling put other tenors in the shade - so does Joseph Calleja. They have a gentle sweetness in their voices which the others don't have.
Wonderful!
???? No way. He isn't Björling...
I believe this is absolutely the best version of Nessun Dorma I have heard to-date. Magnificent! Flawless. Sung with great controlled passion. Truly wondrous to behold.
es ist ein trauerspiel, dass es in Deutschland keine Veranstaltung gibt wie diese last night, da. kann man great Britain nur gratulieren
Sorry to disagree with you, it's a decent enough version don't get me wrong but it's far from the best version.

Joseph is in his early 30's?...I thought he was a lot older then that, more like early 40's.
Totally agree, way the best version I have ever heard, and I have heard all the greats.
Grazzi Joseph dejjem taghmilna kburin bik iktar min kwalenkwe Malti iehor. Malta ghanda gojjel imprezzabli bik.
Der vollkommene Gesang, der beste, den ich je gehört habe.
He truly is amazing!!
Wow ! What a voice.
linda voz. adorei.
Sir Your tender strong glorious blessings make me weep with the beauty of it all!♥️🎄♥️
17 people didn't like this? Seriously? This is magnificent. Well done!!!
Eine,zu Herzen gehende Stimme . In der Bremer Glocke -furioser Auftritt. Freue mich auf München/Berlin +Wien
WHAT A BEAUTY!!
Nothing much more to add...Prosit Joseph, you make Malta proud...you make Lasallians even more proud
His voice is so full and rich, it boggles the mind.
ONE OF MY FAVORITES, DONE WELL TOO ! great.....................
This marvelous man makes me so proud of being Maltese!

The Nestor tenor in the world. Really the best
BRAAAAVOOO
Absolutely bewautiful performance. What a VOICE - that I';ve never heard!
I think he would bring a tear to Pavaroti's eye!
Vincerai Guz, excellent!!!
Excellent voice, nice guy !
Absolutely superb - Joseph makes the three tenors pale into insignificance. And as a Brit, we all love the Maltese, GC.
Don't talk rubbish, and show a little more respect to the 3 finest Tenors of the modern era. Joseph is good, but he's nowhere near as good as Domingo, Pavarotti, or Carrerras.
I disagree ! It's a matter of taste and opinion, i agree with sarniacherie
I'm maltese hello orajt int biss serjeta
Totally agree far better than any of the 3 tenors, who are unquestionably highly talented, but Calleja beats them hands down.
Malta's wonderful tenor sensation
Bravu, bravu u brabu!
Exquisite
Proud to be Maltese - Prosit Joseph!
I CRIED TEARS OF HAPPINESS,WHAT JOY
That TREMOLO.....
Basil Fernandez good someone noticed 🙌🏼 lol
lovely and sound performance must be one of the all time great tenors hey is voice is fresh uplifting
The conductor sings along on the last "Vincero !"
Fabulous voice with such a gentle unfussy discipline
Love the conductor singing along with him.
Yes! Magnificent!
Wonderful performance!
