The Team

The founder and publisher of InterClassical is Yehya Alazem. Born in Syria, he has lived across the Middle East and Europe—including the UAE, Kuwait, Sweden, and the UK—and is now based in Germany. An opera critic for over a decade, Yehya began writing for Tidskriften OPERA in Sweden and the German blog Klassik-begeistert before launching his own project, Capriccio, in 2018. His primary focus is the opera and piano repertoire of the Romantic era. He also plays the piano and the oud (Arabic lute). Yehya holds an M.Sc. in Nuclear Engineering, with a specialization in Radioactive Waste Management, and his greatest passion besides music is golf.

Per Nylén, from Sweden, is a secondary school teacher of Swedish and history, as well as an active cultural and music writer. He has contributed to publications such as Västerviks-Tidningen and Capriccio, covering a wide range of topics within classical music. His particular passions lie in opera and orchestral repertoire, though his curiosity extends across the full spectrum of classical music.

Carlos Manuel Delgado Nule is a Colombian opera writer who specialises in reviewing live performances and recordings. Since 2022, he has been giving talks on opera, combining public speaking with a growing body of written work. A lifelong opera enthusiast, he has studied opera history and amassed an extensive and ever-growing collection of recordings. Carlos holds a Bachelor’s degree in Social Communication and Journalism. Outside of classical music, he is a musician and composer for Indisso, an animated rock band inspired by the sound and attitude of the 2000s. His greatest passion besides music is football.
