                  JOSÉ CURA sings an impeccable Calaf -- Kurier
In 2003, JOSÉ CURA debuted as Calaf in the Arena di Verona new production of Puccini's opera, Turandott; critical and popular acclaim was instant and overwhelming as Cura triumphantly took his place among a handful of active tenors able to negotiate this vocally challenging role. Kurier...June,2003 --- JOSÉ CURA sings an impeccable Calaf and in “Nessun dorma” a high B which others can only dream of. 

Il Corriere della sera,...June 2003 ---- JOSÉ CURA fills up the Arena with three words, "all'alba vincerò," like a challenge to the entire world, singing supine, with the attitude and the pride of an ancient Roman.  

Opera Now,...September 2003 ---- Sometimes, all you want to say about an evening at the opera is “Wow!”. As Calaf, JOSÉ CURA's charisma shone from the start, with the size of venue seemingly a perfect match for this great artist. His melodious vocals, with beautifully held top notes, were expertly controlled. " Nessun dorma " was fresh and true, sung with charm and ease, rather than as a challenge or with gusto, as is often the case.
