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

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. 

So it's a stroke of luck that Jonathan Tetelman will be returning to Munich very soon; a date was found at short notice. 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 .

ABOUT THE CONCERT

»This voice belongs to the future,« was recently written about star tenor Jonathan Tetelman in the Salzburger Nachrichten. »Absolutely stunning, this man«, agreed the Hamburger Abendblatt after his Elbphilharmonie concert in July 2025. The singer who captures the hearts of audiences and critics around the globe now returns to the Hanseatic city with a Bel Canto evening:

Italian longing, German intimacy, French passion – with opera hits and international love songs by Bizet, Wagner, Tosti, Cilea, Cardillo, Leoncavallo, and others, Tetelman aims to enchant his Hamburg audience once again.

Following her great success with the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl, the young German-Colombian conductor Anna Handler now makes her Elbphilharmonie debut at the podium of the Enigma Classica ensemble – and at the piano. Alongside Tetelman’s beguiling vocals, Handler brings other symphonic delights by Mozart, Haydn, Mascagni and Tschaikowsky – an evening between song and sound.

ABOUT THE CONCERT

Spend a Sunday afternoon in the enchanting musical world of Il trittico, Puccini’s grand triptych of one-act operas. This complete, three-part performance—a first at Carnegie Hall—is conducted by 2023 Puccini Award winner Gianandrea Noseda, one of today’s most celebrated opera and concert conductors. An international cast of all-star singers brings each tale to life—from intense tragedy to comical farce—alongside the National Symphony Orchestra and The Washington Chorus.

ABOUT THE CONCERT

The concert of May 6 is set to make history as we blend the worlds of sport and opera, welcoming baseball legend Bernie Williams and operatic star Jonathan Tetelman to the stage at the Knight Concert Hall. These two remarkable artists will not only delight us with their incredible music and skill, but also convey a message: the worlds of sports and music are not as far apart as they seem. Both require immense discipline, resilience, the ability to handle rejection, and finely honed skills. Too often, these two universes are seen as separate: opera is sometimes viewed as too stuffy or exclusive, while sports are seen as less elevated or refined. We’re here to break down those barriers and show how beautifully they come together.

This wonderful concert isn’t just about Jonathan and Bernie; they’ll be joined by other friends for an unforgettable evening of cross-genre artistry. It’s a perfect way to close our Voice of Wellness launch, a cause dear to both Bernie and Jonathan. After opening at Carnegie Hall in January, we’re thrilled to welcome this show to Miami.

ABOUT THE CONCERT

An evening full of passion and great emotion: Jonathan Tetelman, one of today's most exciting tenors, presents a captivating program with arias by Puccini, Verdi, and Bizet. With his powerful voice and charismatic stage presence, he brings the most beautiful melodies of operatic repertoire to life. Accompanied by the Nordwestdeutsche Philharmonie under the direction of Frédéric Chaslin, this evening of arias promises a musical journey full of drama, longing, and Italian operatic romance.
