Programme
Overview

"The world's greatest tenor" - his seductively beautiful voice captivates with power, passion and temperament. Look forward to a fantastic opera gala with the superstar of classical music and the fantastic soprano.

In program the most beautiful arias and duets by Puccini, Leoncavallo, Strauss and Lehár, among others.

On everyone's lips, in everyone's ears – superlatives are hardly enough to describe Kaufmann's talent and career. The hearts of the audience fly to him in record time. His seductively beautiful voice impresses with its power, passion and temperament.

Since his debut at the Metropolitan Opera New York in 2006 in “La Traviata”, Jonas Kaufmann has been one of the top classical soloists. The specialist magazine "Opera News" wrote about the tenorissimo: "His intensity and elegance, the suppleness of his voice and his body language, combined with his musicality and his radiant appearance, make him the epitome of the opera star of the 21st century." Kaufmann enthusiastically participates his incomparable elegance, with which he effortlessly switches to the highest register and always sounds warm, dark and beguiling. The renowned tenor is at home in a wide variety of genres. He is just as in demand internationally in the Italian and French repertoire as in the German one. Jonas Kaufmann has mastered the entire range of tenor repertoire and attaches great importance to versatility and flexibility: vocally, stylistically and linguistically.

Born in Munich, he has already received numerous awards. Jonas Kaufmann has been an ambassador to the United Nations since last autumn. "Perhaps this is where the contribution that we musicians can make lies: to build a bridge through art, to renew the awareness of the common culture and interests." "Singer of the Year" for the album "Liszt - Joyful and Painful".

Together with the fantastic American soprano Rachel Willis-Sørensen, who can also be heard on the Kaufmann album "Wien" (2019), Jonas Kaufmann presents a dreamlike gala evening with the most beautiful ones, accompanied by the Hofer Symphoniker conducted by Jochen Rieder Arias and duets by Puccini, Leoncavallo, Strauss and Lehár, among others.

Venue Info

Inner Courtyard Thurn and Taxis Castle - Regensburg
Location   Emmeramsplatz 5

This magnificent palace emerged from the buildings of the former Benedictine monastery of St. Emmeram. Thurn and Taxis Castle Festival events take place here.

In connection with the abolition of the postal rights the royal house of Thurn and Taxis purchased the greatest part of the monastery buildings in 1810 and extended them to make them their permanent residence. The entire palace contains several magnificently furnished chambers. The cloisters in the oldest part of the monastery are of particular interest.
