Two years after the release
of his highly successful album Dolce Vita, Jonas Kaufmann reaffirmed his love
affair with Italian music this summer with a special concert at the Waldbühne –
Berlin’s renowned stage-beneath-the-stars. In what can be seen as a wondrous
zenith of his dedication to Italy and her music, the concert has become one of
this year’s biggest classical music events. Sony Classical is proud to announce
the release of the magical concert on DVD, Blu-ray, CD and digital formats this
Fall.

“An Italian Night – Live
from the Waldbühne Berlin” features popular songs and canzone as well as
passionate Italian opera arias and duets from Cavalleria rusticana, where
Georgian mezzo-soprano Anita Rachvelishvili joined Jonas as a charming
guest-artist and duet partner. Both were supported by Jochen Rieder conducting
the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin.
Those who missed the
amazing atmosphere of the concert at the 20,000-seater Waldbühne can now
experience the attractive mix of opera, songs and italianità that brought the
audience to their feet and resulted in seven incredible encores including
“Parla più piano” (The Godfather theme), “Volare” in special duet form and the
mighty “Nessun dorma” from Puccini’s opera Turandot. The evening’s delights
also included Ponchielli’s “Cielo e mar” from his opera La Gioconda, as well as
the popular songs “Torna a Surriento”, “Non ti scordar di me”, a unique solo
rendition of Lucio Dalla’s “Caruso” by Anita Rachvelishvili, and a stirring
duet of “Il canto” between Jonas and Anita.
A 80-minute highlights
version of the concert will be available on CD and digital audio formats (out
September 14) and the full 110-minute concert recording – filmed by ZDF &
3sat in collaboration with concert promoter Alegria and Semmel Concerts – will
be presented on DVD and Blu-ray (out September 28).
The full concert film
(Jonas Kaufmann – Under the Stars) will also be shown in cinemas worldwide this
Fall, including in Finland, Sweden, the Netherlands, Romania, Latvia, Denmark,
Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Poland, Spain and France. More countries will
