Jose Cura
Topics: Argentine conductors Argentine opera singers
Jose Cura is a notable operatic tenor known for his intense and original interpretations of his characters, notably Verdis Otello and Saint-Saens Samson, as well as for his unconventional and innovative concert performances. He is also able to perform high baritone roles with the extended lower parts of his vocal range.
Jose Cura was the first artist to sing and conduct simultaneously (both in concert and on recordings) and the first to combine singing with symphonic works in a half and half concert format.
Cura made operatic history when he first conducted Cavalleria Rusticana and then stepped on stage after intermission to sing Canio in Pagliacci at the Hamburg Opera in February 2003.
