About Javier CamarenaJavier Camarena, recently honored by the prestigious International Opera Awards organization as Male Singer of the Year, is one of the most sought-after artists in the world, performing with resounding success in the main opera houses and concert halls around the globe. In recent years, he has enriched his repertoire with new roles, most notably as Edgardo in Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor and Gualterio in Bellini's Il Pirata.
He is the only singer in history who has sung encores in three different Metropolitan Opera productions: Cinderella (2014), Don Pasquale (2016) and The Daughter of the Regiment (2019). He repeated this feat with The Daughter of the Regiment at the Teatro Real in Madrid as well as at London's Royal Opera House.
His 2021/22 season includes concert tours in Mexico, Spain and China as well as productions at the Royal Opera House, Zurich Opera House, Barcelona's Gran Teatre del Liceu and the Metropolitan Opera.
Javier Camarena and pianist Ángel Rodríguez have been musical partners for many years and have performed recitals all over the world, including a 2019 recital presented by LA Opera. Camarena made his LA Opera debut in 2017 in the leading role of Nadir in The Pearl Fishers.
