In this enchanting concert, Jonas Kaufmann, one of today’s finest tenors, brings his passion for film music to life.

Accompanied by the renowned Czech National Symphony Orchestra, Kaufmann takes his audience on a cinematic journey that transcends the silver screen. From the romantic strains of “Where Do I Begin” from Love Story and the poignant “What a Wonderful World” from Good Morning, Vietnam to the evocative “Strangers in the Night” from A Man Could Get Killed, each performance embodies the essence of cinema’s most iconic moments. Spanning decades of cinematic history, this unforgettable program promises to captivate film and music lovers alike.

“As an ardent film buff and singer I am naturally very receptive to all the vocal numbers that have been heard in soundtracks all over the world, which is why it was a particular pleasure for me to rummage in the treasury of film music in search of the most beautiful pieces. The result is The Sound of Movies, a collection of wonderful songs from over eighty years of cinematic history. Whether they are accompanied by moving pictures or treated as pure music, they have all found a place in my heart.” Jonas Kaufmann
