Daniel Rodríguez (born May 24, 1964) 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 11 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 and in symphony concerts, and performs in support of numerous charities.

Early years

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

At the age of ten, he began a serious study of music.[5] His teen years were spent studying, and later as assistant director at the American Youth Repertory Company in Manhattan, under the tutelage of Juilliard trained Elliot Dorfman.[6][7] During his early years, he also studied with Juilliard's Aldo Bruschi, as well as Miraslov Markoff from the Moscow Ballet and Opera company. Rodriguez performed in Carnegie Hall at age 17.[8]

After he married at 19 and had a son, Rodriguez put music on hold, as he worked at a series of jobs, including short-order cook, caterer, taxi driver, truck driver, and postal worker, before finally joining the police force. At age 25, he decided to get back into the music world, 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.[9][10][11]

Career highlights

Rodríguez entered the New York City Police Academy in 1995.[5] After singing at his own graduation, he was chosen as one of the designated National Anthem singers in the NYPD's ceremonial division.[12] New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani who had seen Rodríguez 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, Rodríguez was the subject of a Cable News Network special about a New York City police officer who sang at Carnegie Hall.[13] He 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." [4] He would spend the next several months working at Ground zero, interrupted only by requests to sing at official functions, memorials and media events.[14] Performing at many post 9/11 events, he received much media attention for his performances of "God Bless America".[15] 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." [16]

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 Christophers on their program titled Christopher Close-up.[17] [18][19][20] Rodríguez 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."[21] He performed at the September 23, 2001 "Prayer For America" concert, honoring the victims of the September 11 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.[22][23][24] After seven years as a police officer and then finally gaining national recognition as a singer, he 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." [25]

At Carnegie Hall's 111th season opening, October 2001, he sang "God Bless America," with the Berlin Philharmonic in a tribute to 9-11.[26] He also signs his first recording contract in October 2001 offered by Manhattan Record Company's Arif Mardin and Ian Ralfini. Rodríguez was the first artist to sign with newly re-activated Manhattan, a division of EMI. In Mardin's life story he describes Rodríguez as "golden voiced." [27]

Opera performances

Rodríguez made his operatic debut as Canio in Ruggero Leoncavallo's Pagliacci in New York City with the Chelsea Opera 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." [15][85][86] In 2007 Rodríguez 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.” [87][88] In 2008 at the Opera of the Hamptons, Southampton, New York, Rodríguez sang the role of Turridu opposite international soprano Cristina Fontanelli, in Pietro Mascagni's one act opera, Cavalleria Rusticana.[89][90]
