You know the name, Jonas Kaufmann, the world's best (and hottest) operatic tenor. In an intimate performance by the singer, his Evening with Puccini concert will be showing in select U.S. theatres tomorrow, Feb. 23 at 7:30 p.m. via Fathom events.
A special one-night opera event, it will be an evening to remember as Puccini is one of Kaufmann's all-time beloved composers. Having released several tributes to the Italian songwriter, Kaufmann is a renowned enthusiast of Mr. Giacomo and his unparalleled arias.
To wit, Kaufmann last year released Nessum Dorma: The Puccini Album, which featured Kaufmann's soaring voice over his personal Puccini selections. Also released alongside the LP was a special "Making Of..." segment in which the opera star talked about his affinity for Giacomo.
But, tomorrow's consortium isn't for Nessum Dorma, it is instead for a concert that was so astounding it received five standing ovations. Kaufmann's operatic excellence is a mastered trait, one that is only complimented by a repertoire of the singer's own choosing.
The Guardian wrote of the gala:
"It was one of opera's most celebrated performances of 2015 - Jonas Kaufmann's all-Puccini gala concert at La Scala, Milan, with arias and scenes from Turandot, Tosca, Manon Lescaut and La Fanciulla del West. 'Jonas Kaufmann conquers La Scala,' declared La Stampa. Now you can see it, when it is broadcast in cinemas in the UK, US, Canada, Australia and across Europe, and enjoy the singer the New York Times called 'the most important, versatile tenor of his generation.'"
