It seemed to me that there was nothing more beautiful in the world than being able to write a work for the theatre. Enchant the audience. Move. To make people rejoice," said Giacomo Puccini, overwhelmed by Verdi's "Aida", for which he made a pilgrimage on foot to Pisa, twenty kilometres away, in 1876 because he could not hear modern operas in his birthplace Lucca. This fascinatingly complex man, who loved hunting and cars, was different from his contemporaries. Also dramaturgically. He bid farewell to the classical heroic material of previous operatic works. His protagonists were people from next door, "the great pain in small souls" (Puccini).

Like no other, star tenor Jonas Kaufmann succeeds in bringing these moving feelings of ordinary people to the stages of the world and sweeping opera audiences and music critics alike to storms of enthusiasm in the spirit of Puccini. 2024 marks the 100th anniversary of Puccini's death. With his programme «Viva Puccini!», Jonas Kaufmann dedicates himself to the work of this extraordinary composer. A very personal homage with the most beautiful arias and scenes from his world-famous operas such as "La Bohème", "Tosca" and "Madama Butterfly" – interpreted by the Deutsche Staatsphilharmonie under the direction of Jochen Rieder, soprano Valeria Sepe and "the greatest tenor of these days" (The Daily Telegraph).
