About the artist Jonas Kaufmann

Born in Munich, tenor Jonas Kaufmann is now internationally recognized as one of the most important artists of our day. He has made sensational debuts in recent seasons in many of the world’s leading opera houses. He completed his musical studies in his native Munich, participated in masterclasses with James King, Hans Hotter and Josef Metternich and subsequently perfected his vocal technique with Michael Rhodes. He began his professional career at the Staatstheater Saarbrücken in 1994 and was soon invited to make debuts in important German theatres such as the Stuttgart Opera and Hamburg State Opera. International debuts at the Lyric Opera of Chicago, Paris Opera and the Teatro alla Scala followed. He made his Salzburg Festival debut in 1999 in a new production of Busoni’s Dr. Faust and returned there in 2003 as Belmonte, as well as for concerts of Beethoven’s Symphony no. 9 with the Berliner Philharmoniker. Kaufmann has worked with the world’s leading conductors and orchestras. Among these engagements were performances with the Berliner Philharmoniker under both Sir Simon Rattle and Nikolaus Harnoncourt, The Cleveland Orchestra under Franz Welser-Möst and the Wiener Philharmoniker under Helmuth Rilling. In January 2008 Jonas Kaufmann’s first solo album for Decca, entitled Romantic Arias, became an immediate international bestseller. It was followed in 2009 by an album of German operatic arias and scenes (Sehnsucht) with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra conducted by Claudio Abbado (Diapason d’or, 2009; Echo Award “Singer of the Year”, 2010) and Schubert’s Die Schöne Müllerin with Helmut Deutsch. Kaufmann’s performance as Don José in the Royal Opera’s production of Carmen has been released on DVD by Decca as well as Strauss’s Rosenkavalier with Renée Fleming and the Münchner Philharmoniker under Christian Thielemann. The tenor’s 2010 releases include an album of Verismo Arias, comprising rarities from Zandonai’s dramatic Giulietta e Romeo, Giordano’s Fedora and Cilea’s Adriana Lecouvreur, supported by Italy’s leading symphonic orchestra, the Santa Cecilia, under its dynamic music director Antonio Pappano; and on DVD Wagner’s Lohengrin from the Bavarian State Opera and Massenet’s Werther from the Paris Opéra.
