Authorised biography of one of the greatest classical tenors in the world today, the German tenor Jonas Kaufmann.

Jonas Kaufmann is a German operatic tenor, best known for his performances in spinto roles such as Don Jose in Carmen, Cavaradossi in Tosca, Maurizio in Adriana Lecouvreur, and the title role in Don Carlos. He has also sung leading tenor roles in the operas of Richard Wagner with success in Germany and abroad, most notably the Metropolitan Opera in New York. He is also an accomplished Lieder singer. In 2014 The New York Times described Kaufmann as 'a box-office draw, and ... the most important, versatile tenor of his generation.'

In this authorised biography we hear from his remarkable teachers and learn of ups and downs of the profession, and Kaufmann's thoughts and emotions before and during debuts and performances at opera houses around the world.

Mr Voigt's journalistic credentials are impeccable ... Mr Kaufmann goes into detail on the physical demands of his art; he speaks eloquently on the fear to which all singers are prone * The Economist *
