‘A Major Musical Talent Blooming Within A Major Existential Talent’: Andrea Bocelli Showers Joseph Calleja With Praise
Following the incredible @andreabocelliofficial and @maltesetenor concert in Malta last weekend, Bocelli has taken to social media to share a couple of beautiful words of praise about Malta’s beloved Joseph Calleja.
“Some artists lose that layer of shine typical of the boards when they leave it,” Bocelli wrote. “Others, like Joseph Calleja, carry the sun within themselves, nurturing it not only in the splendour of their performance, but also in the genuineness and quality of their very being, even when the spotlight is off them.”

“Everyone knows from experience that small gestures can tell you a lot about a person’s deepest self,” the world-renowned Italian tenor continued. “It’s well-known that Joseph is a great singer, but he is also a great person, a beautiful soul that shines even behind the scenes, one who pursues the revolutionary strength of a kindness that, when it is authentic, goes well beyond the surfaces to light up our hearts.”
“A major musical talent blooming within a major existential talent: that will be why Calleja is a dear friend both to us and to all those who have been rushing to applaud him for years,” Bocelli finished in his beautiful tribute to Calleja, sharing a number of photos from Saturday’s concert along with shots from around the islands.
