Unforgettable oratorios and operettas, Canzone napoletana, Wienerlied – Jonas Kaufmann masters the full range of the tenor repertoire. For him, vocal, stylistic and linguistic versatility and flexibility are key. Hailed by The Telegraph as the “world’s greatest tenor”, Kaufmann sets out to prove this claim with his new programme.
Magische Töne, Assad’s aria from Karl Goldmark’s opera Die Königin von Saba, is one of the evergreens of the tenor repertoire. From Enrico Caruso to Nicolai Gedda, almost every great tenor has immortalised himself with this hit. For Jonas Kaufmann, this title becomes the motto for a programme dedicated to famous melodies by Austo-Hungarian composers. Beside Goldmark, these include above all Franz Lehár and Emmerich Kálmán.
