Classical Music Juan Diego Flórez in Recital

Juan Diego Flórez, Tenor

“This is bel canto singing with added modern muscle” (The New York Times). Don’t miss this highly anticipated recital by Juan Diego Flórez, an electrifying superstar tenor with a voice likened by Opera News to “the engine of a Porsche 911—when you hear it, you know you’re in the presence of something finely tuned and luxurious.” At the Knight Concert Hall, Flórez (JDF to his legions of fans) will treat us to a rousing evening of operatic hits as well as songs in Spanish.

Flórez was crowned “the King of the High Cs” by no less than Luciano Pavarotti. Today, the distinctive Peruvian tenor is more than that, surely one of the finest singers of our time. His sold-out concerts around the world have audiences of all ages “exploding in joy” (The New Criterion), not only for the “laserlike and fresh as ever” (Financial Times) virtuosity on display, but perhaps foremost for the sensuality, tenderness and heart-piercing humanity of his singing.
