The Portuguese tenor Rodrigo Carreto, currently based in Zurich is one of the laureates of the 11th edition of the “Le Jardin des Voix” academy in the 2023/24 season, sharing the stage with the French orchestra Les Arts Florissants and conductors William Christie and Paul Agnew on a tour of over 30 performances of The Fairy Queen by Henry Purcell. This milestone marked his debut at the BBC Proms – Royal Albert Hall, Teatro alla Scala in Milan, Lincoln Center in New York, Philharmonies of Paris and Luxembourg, Versailles Royal Opera, Romanian Athenaeum in Bucharest, National Auditorium of Music in Madrid, and festivals in Lucerne (Switzerland), Tanglewood (USA), Lanaudière and Toronto (Canada), among others.

He was selected as one of the “Bach Young Soloists 2021” with Collegium Vocale Gent under the direction of Philippe Herreweghe, with whom he toured extensively between 2021 and 2023.

Rodrigo Carreto has since established himself as one of the leading young interpreters of the Evangelist in Bach’s Passions and other sacred works, known for his expressive depth and stylistic clarity in this repertoire. His versatility extends beyond the Baroque, embracing works such as Mendelssohn’s Paulus and Die erste Walpurgisnacht, Haydn’s The Creation, and song cycles by Finzi, Schubert, Schumann, and Debussy.

In the first half of the 2025, Carreto performed Mozart’s Requiem with the Gulbenkian Orchestra under Stephanie Childress in Lisbon; Campra’s Requiem with Sébastien Daucé and Ensemble Correspondances at the Royal Opera of Versailles; and the role of the Evangelist and arias in Bach’s St. Matthew Passion conducted by Thomas Gropper at the Herkulessaal in Munich. Other highlights include Monteverdi’s Vespers conducted by Paul Agnew at the LAF Spring Festival, and English Divine Hymns with William Christie and Les Arts Florissants at the Lanaudière Festival in Montreal. He performed Lully’s Te Deum with the Divino Sospiro Orchestra under Václav Luks. Rodrigo is a regular presence as Haute-Contre with Sébastien Daucé and Ensemble Correspondances, with whom he recorded Les Maîtres de Notre-Dame. He also recorded Jan Dismas Zelenka’s masses Circumcisionis and Corporis Domini with Collegium 1704 and Václav Luks, as well as other CDs including a Missa by A. Puzzi with Ensemble Bonne Corde, cantatas by G. Österreich with Ensemble Musica Gloria, Portuguese Responsories with Real Câmara Baroque Orchestra under Enrico Onofri, and a song cycle by Joly Braga Santos with pianist Pedro Costa.

In addition to Collegium Vocale Gent and Les Arts Florissants, Rodrigo has performed with a wide range of international ensembles including Schweizer Vokalconsort and Marco Amherd, La Capella Nacional de Catalunya and Jordi Savall, JSB Ensemble and Hans-Christoph Rademann, J. S. Bach-Stiftung and Rudolf Lutz, La Cetra Barockorchester and Andrea Marcon, Chœur de Chambre de Namur and Leonardo García Alarcón, La Grande Chapelle and Albert Recasens, Orquestra XXI and Dinis Sousa, as well as Os Músicos do Tejo and Marcos Magalhães, appearing in some of the world’s most prestigious venues.

He has extensive international stage and festival experience across Portugal, Switzerland, Belgium, France, Germany, Austria, Poland, the Netherlands, Spain, Romania, Israel, Italy, the USA, and China. Rodrigo completed his master’s degree with distinction in the class of Scot Weir at the Zurich University of the Arts. He continues to refine his technical and artistic development with Peter Harvey and Jeremy Ovenden, after having worked with Barbara Hannigan, Emma Kirkby, Robert Murray, and Peter Kooij.

In the remainder of 2025, Rodrigo will make his debut at the Drottningholm Court Theatre in the role of Eurimedes (Orpheus by Telemann) with the Drottningholm Royal Theatre Orchestra conducted by Francesco Corti. He will also tour South America with Les Arts Florissants and William Christie, and perform Josef Mysliveček’s oratorio Adamo ed Eva with Il Gardellino under the direction of Peter Van Heyghen in Palermo.
