An award winning tenor with a Golden-age style voice! I sing the standard operatic repertoire, as well as some neapolitan songs, Spanish songs and zarzuelas. From Puccini and Verdi to La Calle and Lara. visit my website at (link hidden) for video/sound clips! I can do anything from birthday parties and bar/bat mitzvahs to private and corporate lunch/dinners, weddings, even serenades for your special valentine!
Great man great voice 👍👍
Jose has a gorgeous lush tenor voice and is a charming as he is talented. He projects to the back of the house while remaining subtle in his interpretation of the lyrics. Many bravos!
Jose is everything you're imagining and hoping for. He's a true pro. Really, it's absurd that you're able to book him for a private party - he should be beating off the paparazzi at Lincoln Center on a weekly basis! Absolutely superb. Bravo, Jose!
My brother in law was taken from us suddenly, as we were preparing to fly him to Boston for hospice in our home. He was a lifelong fan of classical music, particularly opera. So we were very fortunate, on short notice, to find Jose to perform at a memorial gathering. Jose was thrilling to listen to and some people taped it. He even performed an additional piece for us out of the goodness of his heart. He looked elegant and it was very nice meeting him. The beauty of his singing eased our hearts considerably. Thank you, Jose, The Bowker Family
I hired Jose to perform at my wedding as a surprise for my wife. Both he and his fiance, Rachel, did an unbelievable job. So many guests could not believe how amazing they both were. I would definitely recommend hiring Jose for any event. He was a true professional and such an amazing talent!
Wonderful performance for my daughter's wedding. All our guests loved it.
Highly recommend him. If you're an opera lover you will enjoy. If not, you will become one. Many of the younger crowd in attendance became opera lovers after hearing Jose sing.
Jose is not only an incredible performer but he is kind and gracious and made our event special. Highly recommend.
We hired Jose Heredia to perform a short surprise set of tenor arias at a 90th birthday party for our mother, a passionate lifelong opera fan. Heredia was wonderful, thrilling our mother and the 20 assembled family members with his charismatic presence and his superb singing. Heredia has a terrific tenor voice, expressive, supple, and rich and able to hit ringing high c’s with aplomb. Accompanied by recorded orchestral tracks, he gave us powerful, moving renditions of Che gelida manina, E lucevan le stelle, La donna e mobile, and Nessun dorma. My mother has very discerning taste and has heard and loved all of the great tenors of the last 70 years - Bjorling, Tucker, Del Monaco, Di Stefano, Corelli, Gedda, Pavarotti, Domingo, Kauffman, et al - and even she was delighted and impressed by Heredia’s voice and presence. Others who do not know opera at all were captivated by his performance - including restaurant staff who gathered outside our private room to listen! Heredia was a pleasure to deal with throughout the booking and planning process and in person. I heartily recommend him to any opera fans or any fans of glorious vocal musical performance.
We had the privilege of having Jose perform at our Family Christmas Eve... the moment he began singing the room stood silent and by the end tears of joy had filled my Aunts and Uncles as he truly touched everyone in attendance. Even the children sat in awe of his mastery. What a wonderful experience, thank you Mr. Heredia!
Jose's performance as the Duke of Mantua in Rigoletto at the Bergen PAC production of Rigoletto by the Verismo Opera of NJ, was divine!
He is a consummate professional.
If you are looking for a great opera singer, Jose is your guy. He made my dad's 80th birthday so special since my father is an opera buff. He did an in-house performance of a few arias and it was lovely. He is responsible, fairly priced, has a professional appearance and most important of all a fabulous voice. I would highly recommend him and I will use him again if I ever have the opportunity to.
Bravo Jose!

Beautiful singing, acting and interpretation of each song. I can introduce each of the arias/songs, and explain what each is about, and the meaning of the text. I can be interactive with the guests, or just "stand and sing" concert-style. If there is anything specific that you'd like me to do, simply ask and I will do my best to accommodate.
Award winning tenor José Heredia attended the Manhattan School of Music and Nyack College School of Music. He has performed the lead tenor roles in “Rigoletto,” “Carmen,” “La Taviata,” “Un ballo in Maschera,” “L’elisir d’amore,” Leoncavallo’s “La Bohéme,” Puccini’s “La bohéme,” “Aida,” and “Tosca” with companies like NJ Verismo, Bravo Opera Alliance, Regina Opera, Amore Opera, dell’arte Opera ensemble, NY Lyric Opera Theater, Long Island Lyric Opera, Opera Ithaca and OperaRD in Dominican Republic. He performed the role of “Turiddu” in Mascagni’s “Cavalleria Rusticana” with the Brooklyn Philharmonia Chorus, and the role of "Riccardo" in Verdi's "Un ballo in maschera" with Amore Opera, both in May of 2019. Jose Heredia has studied with the Met Opera’s Mignon Dunn, and is currently a pupil of Dr. Dana Talley and Tamie Laurance.
