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.

The Portuguese tenor Rodrigo Carreto is a rising presence on the international opera and concert stage, praised for his “stylistic clarity and expressive depth.” Currently based in Zurich, he was a laureate of the 11th edition of Le Jardin des Voix (2023/24) with Les Arts Florissants under William Christie — a milestone that led to his debuts at the Royal Albert Hall (BBC Proms), Teatro alla Scala, and Lincoln Center, as well as appearances at major festivals such as Lucerne, Tanglewood, Lanaudière, and Toronto, among others.

Described by Scherzo as a “magnificent” performer with a voice that is “flexible, melodious, and full of nuance”, Rodrigo Carreto has established himself as one of the leading young interpreters of the Evangelist in Bach’s Passions, while increasingly gaining recognition as a sought-after interpreter of Mozart and the principal tenor repertoire of the Baroque.
