Daniel Rodríguez

Daniel Rodriguez (born May 24, 1964 in Brooklyn, New York) is an American operatic tenor from New York City. He became known as "The Singing Policeman" in his former work with the New York City Police Department, due to his role as one of the department's designated National Anthem singers. In the aftermath of the September 11th terrorist attacks, he received widespread attention with his rendition of "God Bless America", which he sang at memorial events and on television. This led to an offer of formal training from Placido Domingo. He has now recorded several albums, appeared in opera, in symphony concerts, and performs in support of numerous charities.

Biography

Early years

Rodriguez was the first born of two children of Carmen and Jose Rodriguez, who had emigrated from Puerto Rico as teenagers. Daniel's father and grandfather were both tenors, and other family members played various musical instruments. [1] Rodriguez cites the singing of Mario Lanza as an early musical influence after after seeing the movie The Great Caruso.[2][3] [4]

At the age of ten, Rodriguez began a serious study of music, and at twelve, a prominent figure in the New York music industry began giving him voice lessons,. His teen years were spent studying at the American Youth Repertory Company in Manhattan, where he would later act as assistant director. He performed in Carnegie Hall at age 17.[5] During his early years, he also studied with Aldo Bruschi, and Elliot Dorfman, both Juilliard trained, as well as Miraslov Markoff from the Moscow Ballet and Opera company.

After Rodriguez married at 19 and had a son, his mentor decided he had dropped music as his first priority and withdrew his support in disapproval. With this loss of an important connection in the music world, and no clear way to continue his musical pursuits, Rodriguez became depressed and stopped singing for nearly five years.[6] To support his young family he worked at many different jobs, including short order cook, caterer, taxi driver, truck driver, and postal worker, before finally joining the police force. At age 25, Rodriguez decided to once again attempt a music career, beginning by performing in concerts he developed himself, and eventually organizing an ensemble of musicians called Broadway Magic, who performed around New York at retirement communities, churches, and for local charities. [7][8][9]

Career Highlights

Rodriguez entered the New York City Police Academy in 1995.[6] After singing at his own graduation, he was chosen as one of the designated National Anthem singers in the NYPD's ceremonial division.[10] New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani who had seen Rodriguez perform at various events, used his influence to arrange an audition for him at the Metropolitan Opera. His lack of classical training proved an insurmountable obstacle, however, and the Met dismissed him after he had sung but two notes.

June 2001, Rodriguez was the subject of a Cable News Network special about a New York City police officer who sang at Carnegie Hall.[11] Officer Rodriguez was driving to work over the Verrazano Bridge in New York City at the time of the September 11th terrorist attack, and was two blocks away from the World Trade Center when it collapsed. "I lived the horrors of 9/11 and made peace with God several times that day, and said goodbye to my family once or twice, and realized I was meant to stick around and do something positive with my life." [12] He would spend the next several months working at Ground zero, interrupted only by requests to sing at official functions, memorials and media events.[13] Performing at many post 9/11 events, he received much media attention for his performances of "God Bless America".[14] The Los Angeles Times published article by Jeff Rivers of the Hartford Courant, who wrote: "Daniel Rodríguez put his arms around America and dried its tears with his voice." [15]

He was soon appearing on news and talk shows including, The Today Show, The Early Show, Larry King Live, The David Letterman Show, and Live with Regis and Kelly. He was also interviewed in 2002 and 2005 by the The Christophers on their program titled Christopher Close-up. [16] [17][18][19] Rodriguez has been quoted as saying "Watching the Twin Towers collapse didn't make me sing any better. But the passion for the music has changed and for what I represent: The comfort and the feeling of national pride that I bring now more than I did before."[20] He performed at the September 23rd, 2001 "Prayer For America" concert, honoring the victims of the September 11th terror attacks. Placido Domingo, who was also on the bill, heard him sing and invited him to attend the Domingo/Vilar Young Artists Institute in Washington D.C. for 18 months of opera study.[21][22][23]After seven years as a police officer and then finally gaining national recognition as a singer, Rodriguez explains "I wasn't a cop who started singing; I was a singer who became a cop...I've been given the gift to sing. I sing for those who have lost loved ones." [24]

At Carnegie Hall's 111th season opening, October 2001, Rodriguez sang "God Bless America," with the Berlin Philharmonic in a tribute to 9-11. [25] He also signs his first recording contract in October 2001 offered by Manhattan Record Company's Arif Mardin and Ian Ralfini. Rodriguez was the first artist to sign with newly re-activated Manhattan, a division of EMI. In Mardin's life story he describes Rodriguez as "golden voiced." [26]

The first performance by Rodriguez, before a world-wide audience occurred at the opening ceremonies of the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah. June 13, 2002, was his first public concert backed by full symphony orchestra, titled "America's Tenors," performed at Pittsburgh's Heinz Hall with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra conducted by Lucas Richman. [27] August of 2002, he performed at the Hollywood Bowl in "The Great American Concert: New York, New York" with John Mauceri conducting. [28]

He performed at Ford's Theater Gala Celebration in 2002, attended by President George W. Bush.[29][30] Other Capitol Hill performances were the Memorial Day concerts in Washington D.C. in 2002 and 2006, and the "Celebration of Freedom" concert in January, 2005, honoring Bush's second inauguration as President.[31][32][33] He also appeared at the Republican National Convention in New York at Madison Square Garden in 2004.[34] In 2002 President Bush paid tribute to Mr. Rodriguez with the following words: "I want to thank Daniel Rodriguez for lending his fabulous voice in tribute after tribute to the greatness of America."[35]

Broadcast on ESPN, in 2003 Rodriguez sang the National Anthem at the Indianapolis 500, and returned in 2008 to perform at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the Allstate 400 Nascar Sprint Cup. [36][37] September 11 2003, Rodriguez was seen on the British TV show Today with Des and Mel hosted by Des O'Connor and Melanie Sykes, where he did an interview reflecting on events of September 11, 2001 as well as a performance of "Be My love," to a live studio audience.[38]

With his emerging success as a singer of both popular and classical music, Officer Rodriguez retired from the New York City Police Department in May 2004, to pursue music full time.[13] In November 2004, Rodriguez traveled to Monaco at the invitation of the IPA (International Police Association), for their 10th Anniversary Gala. Along with the Pipes and Drums unit of the Chicago Police Department, he sang at the royal palace for Albert II, Prince of Monaco,[39] and at a requiem mass for Her Serene Highness Princess Grace of Monaco. The following year he performed at a Memorial Mass at New York City's Cathedral of Saint Patrick, for His Serene Highness Rainier III, Prince of Monaco who died April 6, 2005.[40] In 2004 Rodriguez performed with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, as host of the Christmas Yuletide Celebration concert series, with Jack Everly principal pops conductor. In 2005 he hosted the inaugural production of Holiday Spectacular at the Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. [41][42] Beginning in 2004, he has performed in concert in New Zealand and Europe.[43][44] [45]In June he traveled to Aichi Japan for Expo 2005 World's Fair, where he performed at the US Pavilion.[46]

Boone Pickens, and other college standouts and head coaches. [55]

Opera Performances

Rodriguez made his operatic debut as Canio in Ruggero Leoncavallo's Pagliacci in New York City with the Chelsea Opera Company in June 2006. New York Times music critic Anthony Tommasini wrote, "it was impossible not to respond to his portrayal. When he sang the touchstone aria,Vesti la giubba, venting Canio's grief and humiliation, you sensed that here was someone pouring out years of pent-up artistic longing." [56][14] [57] In 2007 Rodriguez performed again as Canio with Granite State Opera Company in New Hampshire, where he was awarded "2007 Best Performance of a leading male", by Opera online magazine. Paul Joseph Walkowski of Opera Online wrote of that performance by Rodriguez: “electrifying, pure magic, pure energy, pure emotion and blazing in glory. As Canio he stood in a class by himself: a star of easily recognizable magnitude and a force to be reckoned with on the opera stage.” [58][59] In 2008 at the Opera of the Hamptons, Southampton, New York, Rodriguez sang the role of Turridu opposite international soprano Cristina Fontanelli, in Pietro Mascagni's one act opera, Cavalleria Rusticana.
