Rodrigo Carreto

Tenor

Portuguese tenor Rodrigo Carreto was a laureate of the 11th edition of Le Jardin des Voix (2023/24), under the direction of William Christie and Paul Agnew. This production comprised more than thirty performances of Purcell’s The Fairy Queen in prestigious venues such as the Royal Albert Hall (BBC Proms), Teatro alla Scala in Milan, Lincoln Center in New York, Philharmonie de Paris, Opéra Royal de Versailles, Romanian Athenaeum in Bucharest, Sala Cultura Artística in São Paulo, Centro Cultural de Música in Montevideo, Teatro Mayor Julio Mario Santo Domingo in Bogotá, Auditorio Nacional de Música in Madrid, and the Opera de Valencia, as well as at the Lucerne Festival (Switzerland), Tanglewood (USA), and the Lanaudière and Toronto festivals (Canada).
Rodrigo Carreto first attracted international attention as one of the “Bach Young Soloists 2021” with Collegium Vocale Gent under the direction of Philippe Herreweghe, with whom he maintained an intensive collaboration until 2023. Since then, he has established himself as one of the leading young interpreters of the Evangelist role in Bach’s Passions and oratorios, being widely recognised for his expressiveness and stylistic clarity.

In addition to his ongoing association with Les Arts Florissants, Paul Agnew and William Christie, Rodrigo Carreto has collaborated with several leading conductors and ensembles in the field of Baroque music. Over the past year he recorded Jan Dismas Zelenka’s Missa Circumcisionis and Missa Corporis Domini with Václav Luks and Collegium 1704; performed the Evangelist and arias in Bach’s St Matthew Passion under the direction of Thomas Gropper at the Herkulessaal in Munich; and worked regularly with Sébastien Daucé and Ensemble Correspondances, including the recording of Les Maîtres de Notre-Dame and the performance of Campra’s Requiem at the Royal Chapel of Versailles. With conductor Francesco Corti, Rodrigo Carreto performed the role of Eurimedes in Telemann’s opera Orpheus at the historic Drottningholm Court Theatre in Stockholm. In Lisbon, he sang Mozart’s Requiem with the Gulbenkian Choir and Orchestra under the direction of Stephanie Childress.
With an increasingly prominent international presence, Rodrigo Carreto has established himself as a versatile performer with an active schedule on prestigious stages worldwide. He studied at the Zurich University of the Arts with Scot Weir and pursued further artistic development with Peter Harvey and Jeremy Ovenden, having previously worked with Barbara Hannigan, Emma Kirkby, Robert Murray and Peter Kooij.
