JONATHAN TETELMAN

THE DISCOVERY OF A NEW LYRIC GALLANT
Despite his youth and a professional career of just five years so far, the American tenor has established himself as one of the most sought-after tenors of the moment and has built a solid career throughout Europe. Born in Castro (Chile), Tetelman grew up in New Jersey and graduated from the Manhattan School of Music as a baritone at the age of 22, and continued his training at New York's Mannes College. Praised for his agile technique, dramatic eloquence and an extensive palette of vocal colour, the tenor enjoys a reputation in the world of opera as a versatile and committed artist. He recently signed an exclusive multi-album contract with Deutsche Grammophon and launched 'ARIAS', his debut album which has been well received by critics and recorded with the Gran Canaria Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Karel Mark Chichon. Considered by many to be a 'total star', Tetelman has already performed on prestigious international stages such as the Royal Opera House, Turin's Teatro Regio, the Semperoper Dresden, the Gran Teatre del Liceu and San Francisco and Houston opera houses. He will soon return to the Deutsche Oper Berlin and Vienna State Opera just before appearing for the first time at the Peralada Festival with a recital of arias and songs alongside Daniel Heide on the piano. His future commitments include his debut at the Metropolitan Opera House with two operas, a first performance as Luigi in Il Tabarro, Werther in Baden-Baden and a new album with works by Puccini. A new lyrical discovery is coming to Peralada and he is called Jonathan Tetelman.
