THE world’s greatest tenor Jonas Kaufmann, returns to Vienna in a deeply personal tribute to the world-famous melodies from the birthplace of waltz and operetta.

Filmed live at Wiener Konzerthaus, Jonas Kaufmann My Vienna features Viennese music, from Die Fledermaus and Wiener Blut by Johann Strauss to Franz Lehár’s The Merry Widow.

Performing with the Prague Philharmonia orchestra under the baton of Maestro Jochen Riederand, Jonas Kaufmann is also joined by the internationally acclaimed soprano Rachel Willis-Sørensen.

My Vienna will see Kaufmann visit stunning areas of the Austrian capital, such as the Wiener Prater, the taverns of Grinzing and the Viennese Central Cemetery to explore the culture and pride of the Viennese people, and discover the city’s historic connection to operetta melodies.

Kaufmann inherited his love of Vienna from his grandparents, spending many happy years of his youth on their farm in the Austrian alps.

He said: “The music always put me in a good mood. When I had unlikeable things to do as a student, like cleaning or vacuuming, all I had to do was play Carlos Kleiber’s Fledermaus recording, and in no time at all I had a grin on my face.”

Jonas Kaufmann My Vienna, distributed by More2Screen, will be screened on Tuesday, March 24. The show will be at Odeon cinema in Taunton at 7pm.
