Kristine Opolais has first duet with new partner

The soprano, formerly married to Andris Nelsons, has been unexpectedly joined in Dresden by the Chilean-American tenor Jonathan Tetelman, who will jump in tonight as Cavaradossi in place of Riccardo Massi.

Kristine writes: ‘Jonathan and I will sing our first operatic performance together! We have sung a few galas together before, but never a fully staged opera. We’re very excited to sing Tosca and Cavaradossi and hope you can join us @semperoper Dresden. It will be Jonathan’s house debut at Semperoper and only my second performance in this beautiful opera house.’

Here’s one from their Twitter album:

Toi, toi, toi Mario mio from your Tosca for your house debut @TeatroRegio Torino tonight!!! Be amazing as you are! All my support and love for opening night! @TenorTetelman pic.twitter.com/Zbrtw9gtJk
