Bichara Photographs Award Winning Tenor James Valenti

One of the latest photo sessions that produced a distinctive illustration of William’s unique brand of photography was with the celebrated American tenor, James Valenti. Naturally graceful and charming, the award winning tenor was photographed by William bichara in a friendly one-on-one session with the riveting Dallas Opera House as a backdrop. The result was a series of images portraying a perfect balance between the modesty of a gracious down-to-earth gentleman with boyish charm and the grandeur of a tenor with leading roles in majestic classics like La Bohème, Madama Butterfly, Rigoletto and La Traviata in his repertoire. Rising without fail to international stardom, James Valenti is the winner of the prestigious Richard Tucker Award – 2010. He was also named the Dallas Opera’s Maria Callas Debut Artist of the Year in 2009.

As with most of his photography projects, William’s encounter with James Velenti yielded an enjoyable experience for both on the personal and professional levels, and more importantly, was the seed of a promising friendship and mutual appreciation between the two.

William Bichara and James Valenti have more recently worked on another photography project in Dallas with singer and model Mina Chang and a team of Dallas’s top stylists. Tune in for more.
