Jonas Kaufmann is collecting dates
mainKaufmann has jumped in for Agnes Baltsa for a solo frecital at the Vienna Staatsoper on September 29.
Baltsa cites ‘international travel difficulties’ for her withdrawal.
Tickets are on sale. There will be a live audience.
Kaufmann is singing this week at the Grafenegg festival.
Freecital? Did Gautier Capuçon coin that pun? 🙂
Oh dear! Let’s hope Baltsa resurfaces in less difficult times!
The usual Leberecht nonsense……. The Grafenegg-Liederabend was last Sunday, transmitted by ORF and myfidelio. The sooo clever writer missed some other dates in Wien, but to find all much more intelligence is needed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Watch it here:

He is also opening the new Hungarian State Opera’s third venue tonite — the Eiffel Arts Center in Budapest.
Baltsa is 75!
There is a slightly critical tone to this post. Isn’t he doing his bit to try to provide live music?
How has Kaufman joined the SD doghouse? I’m not entirely sure how anyone gets on it, but less sure over this singer than others.
I had no idea Agnes Baltsa is still singing! Good for her…
Oh dear, yet another post about JK… neeeext please!
