  • 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.

Askonas Holt welcomes tenor Joshua Guererro

/04 May 2023

Askonas Holt is delighted to welcome Mexican-American tenor Joshua Guererro to the roster for management in Europe, South America and Mexico.

This week sees Joshua make his Opéra national de Paris debut as Rodolfo in La bohème. The performance follows debuts earlier this season at the Wiener Staatsoper in Macbeth, and at the Bayerische Staatsoper in Manon Lescaut.

This season, Joshua also makes returns to the Royal Opera House for Madama Butterfly, the Lyric Opera of Chicago in Don Carlos, Oper Frankfurt in Manon Lescaut, and The Santa Fe Opera for Tosca. The 2023/24 season includes debuts with Teatro dell’Opera di Roma, and returns to Dutch National Opera, Wiener Staatsoper, and the Royal Opera House.

Recent highlights for Joshua include debuts with Teatro Real, Dutch National Opera and Salzburger Festspiele, as well as a return to San Diego Opera for a cinematic adaptation of Catan’s La hija de Rappaccini.

A graduate of the Los Angeles Opera Young Artist Program (where he received the Eva and Marc Stern Artist Award), Joshua is recipient of a Richard Tucker Foundation Career Grant, and won Second Prize in the Operalia Competition. He also sang on the Los Angeles Opera’s recording of Ghosts of Versailles on Pentatone, which won two GRAMMY awards.

He will be managed at Askonas Holt by Dominic Domingo and Hamish James.
