Jose Cura
After graduating in orchestral conducting, Jose Cura's vocal talents were unrecognized until 1988. He entered opera history when he first conducted "Cavalleria Rusticana", then took the stage after an intermission to sing Canio in "Pagliacci" at the State Opera in Hamburg in February 2003. He became the first performer to sing and conduct at the same time and the first to combine singing with symphonic works in concert format.
For three years he worked as the chief guest conductor of the world-famous Polish orchestra Sinfonia Varsovia, a position previously held by the late Lord Yehudi Menuhin. Subsequently, Kura conducted his orchestra in a series of highly acclaimed performances of such symphonic works as Respighi's Roman Pines, Rachmaninoff's Second Symphony, and Beethoven's Symphony № 9.
As a concert performer, Jose Cura successfully integrated the roles of singer and conductor, as was the case with his concert at the Vienna Concert Hall in November 2002, moving smoothly from the arias included in his new album "Aurora" to the performance of the Symphony № 2 by Rachmaninoff.
As a conductor in 2002, he was a guest of the Sofia Philharmonic with a program including Respighi, Borodin, and Tchaikovsky. In 2004 he conducted Madame Butterfly from Puccini in Warsaw, and in 2006 he traveled to Italy for a one-month tour as conductor of the Arturo Toscanini Foundation Orchestra.
