An exclusive artist with Deutsche Grammophon, Tetelman has earned international recognition through his acclaimed recordings Arias and The Great Puccini, further establishing himself as one of opera’s most distinctive voices of his generation.

During the 2026–2027 season, Tetelman makes his role debut as Samson in Samson et Dalila at Staatsoper Unter den Linden and his role debut as Radamès in a new production of Aida at Houston Grand Opera.
