Maltese tenor Joseph Calleja received several standing ovations yesterday when he headlined the Nobel Prize Concert, which is held annually in Stockholm to honour the year’s Nobel Laureates.

He performed a selection of Italian and French opera arias with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic under Marcello Mottadelli.

Following the concert Calleja was introduced to the Queen of Sweden and other members of the Royal Family.

Calleja is due to return to Malta today.
