An extraordinary evening full of emotions, as the press called "the concert event of the year": Anja Harteros, Ekaterina Gubanova, Jonas Kaufmann and Bryn Terfel, four singers from a common league, presented an extraordinary peak of the superstars of classical music.
Accompanied by the Badische Staatskapelle conducted by Marco Armiliato, the star-studded cast took the audience on a long journey, exploring some of the most notable and well-loved operas and combining in a single concert all the hallmarks of this high-flying musical genre: beauty, magical sonority, tragedy and overflowing Passion.

A bouquet of arias and duets enchants the audience from the first note and offers something for everyone - from the musical connoisseur to the amateur.

From the touching "Morró, ma prima grazia" from Verdi's Un ballo in maschera sung by Anja Harteros to Bryn Terfel's devilish "Le veau d'or est toujours debout" from Gounod's Faust to Jonas Kaufmann's and Ekaterina Gubanova's dramatic interpretation of the central duet from Mascagnis Verismo masterpiece Cavalleria rusticana, it was an evening of "pure bliss" (The New Marker).

The cast that the Festspielhaus Baden-Baden has put together for this unique and long sold-out concert is really every impresario's dream: The cast: Jonas Kaufmann, the "most important, most versatile tenor of his generation". (New York Times). Anja Harteros is celebrated as "Soprano of the Century" and "the Stradivari of all voices". Welsh star baritone Bryn Terfel is one of the most prominent and powerful voices in the world of classical music and is at home on the world's most prestigious opera and concert stages. This also applies to Ekaterina Gubanova, one of the greatest mezzo-sopranos of recent generations, who frequently performs at the greatest opera houses such as the Metropolitan Opera, the Teatro alla Scala, the Royal Opera,
