The portuguese tenor Rodrigo Carreto, currently living 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 that includes over 30 performances of Henry Purcell's opera "The Fairy Queen."
