The second recording that has been the radar is Jonas Kaufmann’s upcoming CD. While fans are eagerly awaiting his first French album, Sonya Yoncheva created even more, hype as she announced that she collaborated with Kaufmann, singing a duet from Massenet’s “Manon.” The upcoming recording is slated for the fall. Yoncheva and Kaufmann will reunite when they  sing at the Opéra National de Paris this fall in a new production of Verdi’s “Don Carlos.”

I am happy to sing in a duet from Massenet’s Manon with Jonas on his new CD release. Here two pictures from our recording session earlier this year. It was fun!
