Don Giovanni, Salzburg Festival

“He (Erwin Schrott) was applauded with enthusiasm. The same thing happened to the big revelation of the Salzburg Festival. We talk about Joel Prieto and his excellent presentations in the role of Don Ottavio. It didn’t scare him to debut in Mozart’s birth city. Neither the comparison with Alfredo Kraus. We can not miss the merits with whom Prieto has claimed his place. He was unknown until the vocal competition sponsored by Placido Domingo (Operalia). He won in 2008 and, since then, has climbed up in the repertoire of Mozartian territory.

Le aplaudieron con entusiasmo. Igual que sucedio a la gran revelacion espanola del Festival de Salzburgo. Hablamos de Joel prieto y de sus excelentes presentaciones en el papel de Don Ottavio. No le ha impresionado debutar en la ciudad natal de Mozart. Tampoco la comparacion con Alfredo Kraus. No pueden perderse de vista el mérito y la distincion con que Prieto ha reclamado su sitio. Era un desconocido hasta el concurso vocal que patrocina Placido Domingo (Operalia). Lo gano en 2008 y, desde entonces, se ha erigido en repertorio del territorio mozartiano.
