Joseph Calleia
His full name was Joseph Alexander Caesar Herstall Vincent Calleja - but he was better known as Joseph or Joe Calleia, one of Hollywood's most recognized bad guys. But Calleia's roots and talents ran much deeper than character actor. He was Maltese, born on that barren but historically important island of Malta between Italy and Africa in the Mediterranean. The Maltese culture was a crossroads of peoples (partially Arabic) but as intrepid fisherman, navigators, and warriors-as they proved to the 16th century Turks - it was a proud one. But it could not hold Calleia, who, blessed with a good singing voice and a talent for composing, joined a harmonica band that left for the Continent in 1914. This was a Europe feeling the initial blows of World War I, and Calleia's band toured the length and breadth of it in music halls and cafes. He went to Paris and eventually came to London to perform some concert singing engagements. And from there the lure of the New World brought him to New York by 1926. It was a natural enough transition for a talented singing performer to acting. Calleia did his first play on Broadway in an original drama suitably called "Broadway" for a long run from late 1926 early 1928. This was the first of seven plays he did into early 1935. He took a double role as actor and stage manager for the 1930-31 run of "Grand Hotel". He received good reviews (once called him a "bright light" on Broadway) and later recalled that his treading the boards were his best years as an actor. By 1931 he had yet another course to steer. Hollywood had noticed him, for his constrained intensity as an actor was matched by a singular visage - heavy-lidded eyes and dark features that gave him a disquieting and menacing appearance. Yet the sometime telltale lilt in his voice betrayed the fine singer. He had just enough accent to make him Latin or Greek or Middle Eastern - or indigenous sorts. Of course, his look meant early heavy roles as he went under contract to MGM, doing his first two films in that year of 1931. By 1935 his looks landed him the role of Sonny Black, a mob boss with many facets, and with a characteristic clenched-teeth delivery, Calleia acquitted himself in fine fashion. Through the 1930s he was pretty much typed-cast as a mobster-with variations. Always with the lean and hungry look, he was a club owner in After the Thin Man (1936) and played a government cop in the atmospheric Algiers (1938). He even had time to help write a screenplay for the film Robin Hood of El Dorado (1936) with veteran Warner Baxter. Calleia ended the decade with roles at opposite ends of the character acting spectrum-somewhat center stage as a priest in the sometimes heavy-handed Full Confession (1939) and most memorable as Vasquez, the brought-to-justice criminal on the ill-fated DC-3 that crash lands in headhunter-infested Amazon highlands in Five Came Back (1939). This is a classic adventure drama -- remade with Rod Steiger -- with a great supporting cast that included everyone's favorite wisecracking redhead, Lucille Ball. Into the 1940s, Calleia was cast in more ethnic roles - particularly as Hispanics of various sorts. But his roles were memorable nonetheless, as El Sordo in For Whom the Bell Tolls (1943) and Rodriguez in The Cross of Lorraine (1943). But two roles stand out. His Buldeo in the Alexander Korda classic production of Jungle Book (1942) was a personal favorite, a double role, as trouble-making villager and the selfsame man now old and wise telling the story to the village children as narrator. The makeup is so good-and Calleia enjoyed character makeup-that most viewers are surprised when the old man reveals his identity. More mainstream Hollywood was his intriguing role as Detective Obregon in Gilda (1946). He's the good guy-right? - but he comes off so sly with his sidelong looks and the way he bates the principals - Glenn Ford and Rita Hayworth - that you just don't know. In the end he has the task, like the chorus in a Shakespearean play, to explain and summarize-perhaps not the best means of getting to the point - but that was the director's choice. His secondary parts receded a bit into the later 1940s and further into the 1950s with Calleia typed to retrace former roles but giving them new nuance just the same. He has little more than a cameo as Indian chief Cuyloga-Native American chiefs being the lot of no few elder actors in 1950s Hollywood - in the otherwise worthwhile Disney adaptation of The Light in the Forest (1958). Calleia ventured into the TV briefly about that time. But also from that year was another of his favorite roles. Without doubt Touch of Evil (1958) is one of the strangest of Orson Welles later efforts as director/star. It borders on the uneven but is so off-the-wall that one cannot help watching and thoroughly enjoying all the antics of Welles still brilliant film techniques: shadow and light, wild camera angles, gringos playing Mexicans-Charlton Heston is a wow and stained darker than necessary-and over-the-top performances with veteran dramatis personae like Marlene Dietrich, Akim Tamiroff, Calleia, of course, and Welles himself looking like a police captain from skid row and using that funny character voice of his that pops up in his films as an aside. Calleia, with white hair, is tired old cop Sergeant Menzies, long associate of Welles' seedy character. Doing what he has always done, covering up and running interference, in the end Menzies has to face the truth about his crooked captain. Calleia enjoyed the role as going so against his usual type - showing a man harried by his past and haunted by dirty secrets - vulnerable - and very human. It's a great part. By 1963 Calleia walked away - or, that is - sailed away from Hollywood. He returned to his native Malta for a well deserved retirement. The Maltese had followed the career of their native son, and he had made several visits during his film career. Not surprisingly his biggest fan club was right at home. He was a kind and generous man and very appreciative of his fans wherever they were - quick to read all their letters and quick to send autographed pictures. It was strictly tongue-in-cheek when he supposedly quipped: "Everyone recognizes my face, but no one knows my name." After his passing, the government of the island state of Malta issued two commemorative stamps (1997) to honor him. A bust was erected before the house in which he was born as a further memorial to this Maltese VIP who had made good.
Joseph Calleja
Maltese-born Joseph Callej is a tenor. Born in Malta in 1978, Joseph Calleja began singing at the age of 16, first in his church choir, and then in formal training with Maltese tenor Paul Asciak. By 35 years of age, he sung 28 principal roles and regularly appears on most of the world's leading opera stages. A Grammy-nominated recording artist for Decca Classics, Calleja has released four solo albums. On his newest recording, Be My Love: A Tribute to Mario Lanza, Calleja pays homage to the famous Italian-American singer and actor, by whose film The Great Caruso he was inspired to pursue a career in opera. Calleja was only 19 when he made his operatic debut as Macduff in Verdi's Macbeth at the Astra Theatre in Malta, shortly before winning an award in the Belvedere Hans Gabor competition that launched his international career. He went on to win the 1998 Caruso Competition in Milan and was a prize winner in Domingo's Operalia in 1999, the year of his U.S. debut at the Spoleto Festival. Since then Calleja has gone on to appear with most of the world's great opera companies, including the Metropolitan Opera, Los Angeles Opera, Lyric Opera of Chicago, Royal Opera House at Covent Garden, Vienna Staatsoper, Barcelona's Gran Teatre del Liceu, Dresden's Semperoper, Frankfurt Opera, Deutsche Oper Berlin, and Munich's Bavarian State Opera. Among the tenor's signature roles are Verdi's Duke of Mantua in Rigoletto and Alfredo in La traviata; Puccini's Rodolfo in La bohème; Donizetti's Edgardo in Lucia di Lammermoor, Nemorino in L'elisir d'amore, and Leicester in Maria Stuarda; the title characters of Gounod's Faust and Roméo et Juliette; Bellini's Tebaldo in I Capuleti e i Montecchi; and Mozart's Don Ottavio in Don Giovanni. Calleja also created the role of Lind in the world premiere production of Azio Corghi's Isabella at Pesaro's Rossini Opera Festival. Joseph Calleja appears extensively in concert throughout the world, singing in opera galas in Germany, the UK, and Korea; at summer festivals including Salzburg and London's BBC Proms; and regularly giving charity performances in his native Malta for audiences of tens of thousands. Calleja co-headlined the legendary Last Night of the Proms at the Albert Hall last year, for live broadcast on BBC radio and television; was the featured soloist at the 2011 Nobel Peace Prize Concert in Stockholm; was selected by the Maltese President to perform a private concert for Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip; and toured Germany with soprano Anna Netrebko. As a recitalist, he has appeared in Japan and throughout Europe. Since making his house debut in Otto Schenk's iconic staging of Rigoletto in 2006, Calleja has become a mainstay at the Metropolitan Opera. His numerous Met engagements include the title role in Des McAnuff's new production of Faust last season, and his role debut as the title character of Tales of Hoffmann in a new treatment from Bartlett Sher. Verdi's Duke of Mantua was the vehicle for Calleja's debut at Covent Garden, where his many subsequent appearances include Rodolfo in last year's La bohème and almost "steal[ing] the show" (Independent) opposite Plácido Domingo in Simon Boccanegra, a performance now immortalized on DVD from EMI Classics. At the Vienna Staatsoper, in addition to his celebrated Verdi roles, Calleja has portrayed Donizetti's Roberto Devereux and Nemorino, and Bellini's Elvino in La sonnambula and Arturo in I puritani. Highlights of the present season include his return to the Bayerische Staatsoper as the Duke in a new production of Rigoletto, and to Lyric Opera of Chicago as Rodolfo opposite Netrebko's Mimì. The tenor recently performed selections from his most recent solo recording, Be My Love: A Tribute to Mario Lanza, on a major European concert tour, and looks forward to making his role debut as Riccardo in Un ballo in maschera at the Frankfurt Opera. As an exclusive Decca Classics recording artist since 2003, Calleja boasts an extensive discography that includes complete operas and concert repertoire, as well as four solo albums: The Golden Voice, Tenor Arias, The Maltese Tenor, and Be My Love: A Tribute to Mario Lanza. The tenor's videography enjoys similar success, and it was his portrayal of Alfredo in the Royal Opera House's La traviata, in which he co-starred with Renée Fleming and Thomas Hampson, that won his first Grammy nod. Calleja's rendition of the Verdi aria "La donna e mobile" is featured on the soundtrack of No Reservations, a 2007 motion picture starring Catherine Zeta-Jones and Aaron Eckhart. In his Hollywood debut, Calleja appears in the upcoming film Low Life starring Marion Cotillard, Jeremy Renner, and Joaquin Phoenix. The tenor has been profiled in New York's Wall Street Journal and London's Times, among other places, and has graced covers of magazines such as Opera News. An increasingly frequent face on television, Calleja has made appearances on programs including CNN's Business Traveller, BBC Breakfast, and the Andrew Marr Show.
