An unauthorized Jonas Kaufmann biography has been published by Samuel Schmid.

The tenor took to social media and said, “This publication took place without the knowledge and authorization of Jonas Kaufmann. Various signs confirm the assumption that this could be an AI-created ‘biography.'”

The biography titled, “Die Biografie über Jonas Kaufmann” is currently available for purchase on several online platforms and to date the author appears to have no established reputation in the fields of music criticism or musicology.

Kaufmann next performs in Sofia in “Tosca” followed by performances of “Aida” in Verona and Napoli.
