What a nice evening celebrating 70 years since the reopening of the Wiener Staatsoper, with my colleagues in Wien. I hope that the free concert in the Burggarten also will lead to people seeing their first opera in the Staatsoper.

Jonas Kaufmann says, "Some arias in our repertoire accompany us throughout our career. Like in a lifelong relationship, we can encounter the same pieces again and again. I recorded 2 Puccini arias on my very first album, and now on my latest album, “Puccini: Love Affairs,” I recorded “Che gelida manina” and "E lucevan le stelle" 17 years later. I hope you enjoy listening to these arias, alongside a collection of duets on this album devoted to Puccini." 🎧: jonaskaufmann.lnk.to/pucciniloveLF | So
