Jonas Kaufmann has revealed a list of roles that he is interested in doing in the near future.

During an interview with Gramophone about his latest recording of “Parsifal,” the tenor said that he has a short list “because I’ve done a lot already. Enzo in ‘La Gioconda,’ which is one of the great tenor parts, will come on stage in the spring in Salzburg and in Naples directly afterwards.”

He added, “‘Fedora’ would be really interesting to do. Other than that, there are some that fell by the wayside in the early part of my career train journey, like ‘Un ballo in maschera,’ which I never did and I think I should do. Pelléas is a role I would like to take on. There are some more Britten pieces that I could sing. I’m not convinced about Siegfried – maybe I could do an Act 3 in concert. Tristan needs to get back on stage, I’ve only done the one production and I’m dying to do it again.”

Other roles that he listed were the Kaiser in “Die Frau ohne Schatten” and Herodes in “Salome.” Regarding the “Salome” role he said, “You shouldn’t wait too long to do that because it’s a hell of a part. People always say, ‘Oh, it’s for the old chaps,’ but that’s not true! It’s so difficult.”

In the interview, he said that he doesn’t know if he will do Calaf again but noted that he believed the only version he would do was the original Alfano ending because “It makes this opera complete, otherwise you have a long build-up to this moment when he kisses her and then suddenly: Bam! What just happened? Move on! It’s a fairy tale, I know, but still …” According to Gramophone there will be a DVD release of his “Turandot” performance at the Wiener Staatsoper, which was recorded alongside Asmik Grigorian.
