Jonas Kaufmann live in Frankfurt

Experience Jonas Kaufmann live on March 12th

Jonas Kaufmann is a renowned German tenor celebrated for his interpretations of Italian and German Romantic repertoire, particularly the works of Verdi, Puccini, Wagner, and Strauss. His vocal style is often described as possessing a rich timbre, dramatic intensity, and a notable attention to phrasing and legato. He frequently performs both opera roles and lieder, demonstrating versatility across these forms.

The Alte Oper Frankfurt (Old Opera House) holds significant cultural importance within Germany. Originally opened in 1880, it was heavily damaged during Allied bombing raids in World War II. While largely rebuilt in a post-war reconstruction completed in 1981, the exterior retains visible scars as a deliberate reminder of the city’s history and the devastation of war. The building doesn't fully adhere to its original architectural plans; the interior was modernized during reconstruction with a flexible stage system suitable for diverse performances beyond traditional opera.

The Alte Oper functions as a multi-purpose venue hosting opera, ballet, concerts – including orchestral and chamber music – and other events. It is considered one of Germany’s most important music venues and is highly regarded for its acoustics.
