Interview
Jonas Kaufmann in conversation with Jonathan Kelly
2022 New Year’s Eve Concert with Kirill Petrenko and Jonas Kaufmann
To mark the end of 2022, the Berliner Philharmoniker and chief conductor Kirill Petrenko presented a captivating programme with tenor Jonas Kaufmann as the guest star. He presented Italian opera arias as a “wonderful interpreter” – sometimes powerfully, sometimes “full of languishing, doubting tenderness” (Berliner Morgenpost). The Philharmoniker also dazzled in Tchaikovsky’s Capriccio italien and an excerpt from Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet.
