This time, the “world’s greatest tenor” (The Daily Telegraph) is devoting himself entirely to the second grand master of Italian opera.
With arias, duets and scenes from popular works by Giuseppe Verdi, this acclaimed specialist takes the audience on a journey into a world of drama, emotion and 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 world of opera.”
A star tenor, a heartthrob and born and bred in Munich, Jonas Kaufmann remains the most sought-after tenor amongst the international elite. “His intensity and intelligence, his suppleness of voice and body, combined with innate musicality and smouldering good looks, make him the model of the 21st-century opera star,” enthused the publisher of Opera News. The singer is equally in demand in the Italian, French and German opera repertoires. He has sung Verdi’s Otello in London, Munich and Naples, and Aida at venues including the Arena di Verona. For him, the magic lies “in the subtlety of expression”. “I am very receptive to what music conveys,” he says, seeing it as a driver of emotions.
