The Royal Opera House shared a picture of Jonas Kaufmann in rehearsals for Otello and alongside it had a quote from the tenor speaking of his upcoming role debut.

Kaufmania! Tenors Jonas Kaufmann and Gregory Kunde are gearing up for their performances in the Royal Opera’s hotly-anticipated new production of Verdi’s late, great opera, Otello. ‘Otello is the perfect Verdi opera,’ Kaufmann explains. ‘It starts, the curtain opens and you’re thrown right into it. A lot of actors are very jealous of opera singers in operas like Otello because we have this carpet of emotions. You don’t have to do it from scratch. The audience is already captivated – you just have to go and harvest.’ Read the full interview – link in bio. If you’d like to be captivated too, the production will be relayed live to cinemas across the world on 28 June.
