If you ask many people in the opera world, Jonas Kauffman is one of the finest tenors in opera today. He is also wildly enigmatic and has been known to cancel scheduled appearances in concert or in opera productions.
As of this writing, it appears his concert on Monday, January 15th at the Broad Stage in Santa Monica is still on. In this recital, Kauffman will be performing Franz Schubert’s Die schöne Müllerin. Helmut Deutsch will be accompanying on the piano.
The German tenor is extraordinarily talented. If the concert is happening and if there are still tickets, all fans of opera in Los Angeles should check this concert out. His appearances are rare (he prefers to spend time with his family and not so much time on the road and away from them.) Appearances in Los Angeles are even rarer.
