Jonas Kaufmann - Tutto Verdi
Arias, duets, scenes, and orchestral works from popular Verdi operas such as “Aida,” “Un ballo in maschera,” “La forza del destino,” “Otello,” “Don Carlos,” and others.
“His intensity and elegance, combined with his musicality and radiant appearance, make him the epitome of the 21st-century opera star,” raved the editor of Opera News. Star tenor, heartthrob, and a true Munich native: Jonas Kaufmann remains the most sought-after tenor among the international elite. The singer is just as in demand internationally for the Italian and French opera repertoires as he is for the German one. He has sung Verdi’s “Otello” in London, Munich, and Naples, and “Aida” at the Arena di Verona, among other venues. For him, the magic lies “in the subtlety of expression.” “I’m very receptive to what music conveys,” he says, viewing it as a force that stirs emotions.
Following his major “Viva Puccini” tour at the end of 2024, Kaufmann will once again take the stage in Europe’s concert halls in the spring of 2027 with the German State Philharmonic Rhineland-Palatinate under the baton of Jochen Rieder. This time, the “greatest tenor of our day” (The Daily Telegraph) will devote himself entirely to the second grand master of Italian opera: with arias, duets, and scenes from popular works by Giuseppe Verdi, the celebrated specialist will take the audience on a journey into a world full of drama, emotion, and even moments of burlesque. For Jonas Kaufmann, the special power of Verdi’s music lies in the fact that “Giuseppe Verdi is a man of the people: His music is so compelling that it reaches and moves people even outside the opera.”
