Josep Bros (born 1966)[a] and primarily performing under the name José Bros, is a Catalan operatic tenor particularly known for singing leading roles in the bel canto repertoire.[2][1]

Life and career

Bros was born in Barcelona and studied at the Conservatori Superior de Música del Liceu under Jaime Francisco Puig. He won the Francisco Viñas Singing Competition in 1986 and made his debut the following year in Palma de Mallorca as the tenor soloist in Carmina Burana. His operatic debut came on 15 November 1991 in Sabadell when he appeared as Don Ottavio in Don Giovanni. Between 1991 and 1992 he sang in small provincial theatres in Catalonia where his roles included the Duke of Mantua in Rigoletto, Fernando in La favorita and Nadir in Les pêcheurs de perles.[3][4]

The major breakthrough in his career and his debut at the Liceu came unexpectedly on 9 November 1992 when on 12-hours notice he substituted for the ailing tenor Fernando de la Mora in the opening night of Anna Bolena starring Edita Gruberova.[5]
