  • Puccini | Madama Butterfly | Pinkerton

    Royal Opera House
    Mar 2024 - Apr 2024

    • Mexican-American tenor Joshua Guerrero was exceptionally good as Pinkerton. He was in fine voice and is a skilled actor. His Pinkerton is despicable, unworthy and a clear coward. … Pinkerton’s villainy was so well expressed that when Guerrero bowed to the public there were a few good-humoured and appreciative boos – not because he wasn’t excellent but because his unpleasant Pinkerton was so convincing.

    • One of the most hated characters in opera and yet Joshua Guerrero’s voice almost made me like him at times, his high notes are bright and full and his voice has charm and character.

    • Joshua Guerrero certainly looked the part of Pinkerton, the handsome, dashing naval officer par excellence. He matched Grigorian for warmth and pleasantness of phrasing and timbre

  • Boito | Mefistofele | Faust

    Teatro dell'opera di Roma
    Nov 2023 - Dec 2023

    • The lyrical voice of Joshua Guerrero 's Faust is splendid , holding its tone from start to finish without giving up a moment.

    • American tenor Joshua Guerrero was an ideal choice for the role of Faust. His voice is powerful, and his high notes brilliant. More importantly, his voice has squillo, essential for expressiveness in this role.

  • Puccini | Il Trittico | Luigi

    Wiener Staatsoper
    Oct 2023 - Oct 2023

  • Puccini | La bohème | Rodolfo

    Opera National de Paris
    May 2023 - Jun 2023

    • Guerrero has the ideal vocal colors that go well with Puccini's music. His voice, characterized by an expressive and beautiful use in the vocal passages, also has a pleasant drama and masculinity that is very pleasing.

    • At his side, Joshua Guerrero 's Rodolfo stands out , with a tone full of sunshine and intentions, with superlative ease across the entire range

  • Verdi | Macbeth | Macduff

    Lyric Opera of Chicago
    Sep 2023

    • A similarly enduring memory is Joshua Guerrero’s soaring treatment of Macduff’s ‘Ah, la paterna mano’. He built on the aria’s structure with subtle rubato, and his supple tone held the audience’s attention. The bel canto elements had full voice with Guerrero in this elegant reading.

14 Askonas Holt artists feature in Wiener Staatsoper’s 2024/25 season

/29 April 2024

The Wiener Staatsoper announced the programme for their 2024/25 season yesterday, which includes performances from 14 Askonas Holt artists.

Making debuts at the opera house next season are recent signing Nadine Sierra and conductor Emmanuel Villaume. Nadine sings Adina in L'elisir d'amore opposite Xabier Anduaga, who is in Vienna performing the same role this week. Nadine also sings the lead in Romeo et Juliette. For his house debut, Emmanuel Villaume conducts Manon Lescaut with Kristina Mkhitaryan in the title role. Also taking the podium are Domingo Hindoyan, who returns to the opera house for the first time in five years to conduct La traviata, and Marc Leroy Calatayud who conducts three performances of Romeo et Juliette.

Soprano Nicole Car features in four different productions next season; She sings Donna Anna in Don Giovanni and Elisabetta in Don Carlo opposite Étienne Dupuis in the title role and as Posa respectively. She also makes appearances as Fiordiligi in Così fan tutte and Antonia in Les contes d'Hoffmann. Following her debut last year in Manon, Elsa Dreisig returns to sing Micaëla in Carmen.

Following their critically-acclaimed performances together this season at the Royal Opera House, Asmik Grigorian and Joshua Guerrero again join forces, this time for Don Carlo, with Asmik as Elisabetta and Joshua in the title role. Joshua returns later in the season to sing Pinkerton in Madama Butterfly.

Dmytro Popov returns to Vienna as Vaudemont in Iolanta, and Stephanie Maitland - having previously been part of the Young Artist Programme there - returns in a variety of roles, including Penelope in Il ritorno d'Ulisse in patria, Third lady in Die Zauberflöte and Gouvernante in Pique Dame.
