ABOUT THE CONCERT

The Maestro Luciano Pavarotti broke barriers and boundaries, transcended theaters to reach great open spaces, touching the hearts of millions and bringing opera to a global audience of enthusiasts and beyond.

Thanks to his unparalleled voice and great empathy, he was recognized as the most beloved tenor of the last century.

In the year he would have celebrated his ninetieth birthday, the Maestro will be remembered with a great concert at the Arena di Verona: Pavarotti 90 – The Man Who Moved the World.

A special event featuring great artists from the lyrical and pop scene will celebrate and pay tribute to an extraordinary artistic journey: many great opera and pop singers will take the stage, the two "hemispheres" of music that the tenor generously brought together during his forty-year career. Pavarotti 90 will be an occasion not just for a concert but for a true “Memorial,” offering the audience and all participants the opportunity to remember the Maestro through testimonies, memories, videos, and of course, through the performances on stage by the great talents present.

ABOUT THE CONCERT

Yesterday he was considered a rising star in the operatic firmament, today he shines undisputedly – ​​from the New York Metropolitan Opera to the Vienna State Opera, from the Deutsche Oper Berlin to the Salzburg Festival. Jonathan Tetelman has sung his way meteorically into the front rank of world-class tenors. A wonderfully velvety timbre, astonishing technique, and unique vocal culture combine to create powerful and elegant expression. He won the Opus Klassik Prize for his debut album of arias in 2023, and his Puccini recordings earned him the equally coveted Gramophone Classical Music Award. Excerpts from Puccini's soulful operas are now on the program alongside other works of Italian verismo and French late Romanticism in Tetelman's Philharmonie debut, an opera evening with a large orchestra.

ABOUT THE CONCERT

Fort Worth Opera opens its 80th anniversary season with a rare stateside appearance by internationally acclaimed tenor Jonathan Tetelman. A Deutsche Grammophon recording artist and jet-setting leading man, Tetelman has captivated audiences with his warm, full-bodied tenor and ardent stage presence — from Lisbon to Prague, and Istanbul to Taipei. On October 10, he takes the stage at Van Cliburn Concert Hall for a one-night-only event. Tetelman will be joined onstage by accompanist Michael Recchiuti, a celebrated conductor and pianist who has collaborated with opera legends like Renée Fleming and icons like Vanessa Williams. A star in his own right, Recchiuti brings decades of international experience to the keyboard.

People will be talking about this event for a long time. If you’re anywhere near Fort Worth on October 10, you’re going to want a ticket.

ABOUT THE CONCERT

During the opera gala, when the NFM Wrocław Philharmonic will be conducted by Gianluca Marcianò, Jonathan Tetelman will perform as soloist. The American tenor has enjoyed star status in opera for several years now. His success stems from his outstanding albums recorded for Deutsche Grammophon. Two years ago, the artist was awarded the Opus Klassik Discovery of the Year award and specializes in Italian repertoire.

Despite this, the singer's concert with the Wrocław Philharmonic will begin with a French repertoire. It will open with selections from Charles Gounod's works: the opening fragment from the opera Romeo and Juliet and an aria from Faust , whose libretto is based on the first part of Johann Wolfgang Goethe's drama of the same name. Jules Massenet also drew on themes from the Weimar classic, composing his opera Werther , to a libretto based, of course, on The Sorrows of Young Werther – this piece will be performed next.

The recital will also feature works by the brilliant Giuseppe Verdi. However, the musicians will explore some of his lesser-known works: operas dating back to the 1840s, such as Macbeth and Luisa Miller . The Italian portion of the evening will also feature compositions by Umberto Giordano and Pietro Mascagni. The evening will conclude with famous excerpts from Giacomo Puccini's operas, and Tetelman will prove that it was not without reason that he was named by Gramophone magazine as one of the ten greatest performers of the immortal roles of the protagonists in these works. The American will perform, for example, the aria "E lucevan le stelle ," sung by Cavaradossi in Tosca , awaiting execution in Rome's Castel Sant'Angelo. The concert will conclude with the stunning "Nessum Dorma ," Prince Calaf's aria from Puccini's last, unfinished opera, Turandot . Calaf, il principe ignoto (Italian: 'the unknown prince'), ponders the titular character, certain that the cruel girl will not be able to guess his name, which, as a result of the intrigue that has been hatched, will soon result in Turandot becoming his wife.

ABOUT THE CONCERT

Blessed with a ‘golden voice’, Jonathan Tetelman’s meteoric career has taken him to the world’s leading opera houses, while his records have picked up a succession of awards. We heard him alongside Elīna Garanča in 2021 at Müpa Budapest, and he has since become one of the most sought-after singers of Puccini. His partner, Carolina López Moreno, who exploded onto the international scene as Liù from Turandot, “portrays Puccini’s emotional depths and human tragedy with remarkable intensity and authenticity.” Essential Puccini, therefore: The two artists will perform excerpts from La rondine and Madama Butterfly, as well as parts of the equally unmissable Il trovatore and La traviata by Verdi. The Budapest Philharmonic Orchestra will be conducted by Gianluca Marcianò, who is also at home in the world of the theatre. Compulsory for all lovers of Italian opera.

ABOUT THE CONCERT

His aria recital at the beginning of June was sold out months in advance and was a sensational success, with audiences and the press unanimously enthusiastic: Tenor star Jonathan Tetelman "suffers, dreams, triumphs" (Süddeutsche Zeitung) "with a perfectly fitting voice" (Münchner Merkur). He met "highest expectations"—after all, he is "blessed with a rarely effortlessly responsive voice" (Abendzeitung). He is considered one of the most exciting young singers of our time, performing on the stages of prestigious venues with world-renowned orchestras and demonstrating his talent in a "dark-toned tenor timbre" (Süddeutsche Zeitung). 

Born in Chile and raised in New Jersey, the exclusive Deutsche Grammophon artistpromptly received the Opus Klassik 2023 Award in the "Young Artist of the Year" category for his debut album of Verdi and Verismo arias. In short, the classical music world is clamoring for Jonathan Tetelman.

On Sunday afternoon of the third Sunday of Advent, he will once again be appearing with the Baden-Baden Philharmonic Orchestra : The Isar Philharmonic Orchestra's program includes opera arias by Verdi and Puccini, among others .

Jonathan Tetelman is set to return to New York for a concert at Carnegie Hall. The tenor will perform on Jan. 13, 2026, alongside Yankees legend and Latin Grammy-nominated guitarist Bernie Williams. This will mark the first time a professional athlete has ever accompanied a world-class opera singer on the Carnegie Hall stage, and they will be joined by Jose Reyes of the NY Mets and Stephon Marbury of the NY Knicks.

The concert will be hosted by famed sports broadcaster Darren Rovell. The concert will also feature musicians from the Metropolitan Opera, as well as other special guests and surprise performances.
