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 PRODUCTION

The 125th anniversary celebrations of Tosca , which began on January 14 in the presence of the President of the Republic, will culminate on November 1, 2025. Puccini's most Roman masterpiece returns to the stage in the version of its world premiere, reconstructed in collaboration with the Ricordi Historical Archives from Adolf Hohenstein's original sketches. Daniel Oren will conduct, while the leading voices on stage are Eleonora Buratto (Tosca), Jonathan Tetelman (Cavaradossi), and Luca Salsi (Scarpia). The production is directed by Alessandro Talevi. The special event will be filmed by Rai Cultura and broadcast live on Rai 3, in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture.

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.

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.
