upcoming performances.

  • The concert would already have been worthwhile for the magnificent performance of the Portuguese tenor Rodrigo Carreto-singing the role of the Evangelist and taking on the tenor arias. (…) His voice - beautiful, flexible, melodious, well-tuned, and full of nuance - was present and fully up to the task throughout the entire work. Remember that name: Rodrigo Carreto, he was magnificent.

    — Scherzo

  • He is one of those tenors who prefer not to exaggerate, a rarity among his peers in recent years.

    — Codalario

  • Rodrigo Carreto proved to be a tenor with a warm emission and clear diction, very expressive — for instance in the “Mors stupebit”, with a slightly theatrical touch. His intervention in the “Domine Jesu” maintained that same line of natural brightness.

    —Bachtrack

  • Hence, the text is paramount, and with it, the narrative carried by tenor Rodrigo Carreto. The Portuguese singer highlighted the word, shaping it with a great variety of nuances and making his sung phrasing of a German text fully intelligible.
