Jonas Kaufmann - Magical Tones

Whether immortal opera or oratorios, Canzone Napoletana or Viennese songs – Jonas Kaufmann masters the entire spectrum of the tenor repertoire and places the highest value on versatility and flexibility: vocally, stylistically, and linguistically. The "greatest tenor of our time" (The Daily Telegraph) proves this once again with his new program. "Magical tones," the aria of Assad from the opera "The Queen of Sheba" by Karl Goldmark, is one of the evergreens of tenors. From Enrico Caruso to Nicolai Gedda, almost every great tenor has immortalized himself with this hit. For Jonas Kaufmann, this title becomes a motto for a program dedicated to famous melodies by composers from Austria-Hungary – alongside Goldmark, these primarily include Franz Lehár and Emmerich Kálmán. Together with soprano Malin Byström and the Philharmonie Baden-Baden under the direction of Jochen Rieder, Jonas Kaufmann presents highlights from "The Merry Widow," "The Land of Smiles," "Giuditta," "The Csárdás Princess," and "Countess Mariza."
