Jonathan Tetelman & Sylvia D’Eramo

Tenor Jonathan Tetelman and soprano Sylvia D'Eramo chose arias and duets from Giacomo Puccini's opera for their first concert in Prague.

Today he is a sought-after singer on front European and American stages. His signature roles include Cavaradossi (Tosca), Werther, Rodolfo (La Boheme), Pinkerton (Madama Butterfly), Turiddu (Cavalleria rusticana), and Canio (I Pagliacci). He is a frequent guest at London's Covent Garden, Theater an der Wien, Deutsche Opera Berlin, Gran Teatre del Liceu in Barcelona, Vienna State Opera, San Francisco Opera, Houston Grand Opera, etc. In 2021, he signed an exclusive contract with the Deutsche Grammophon.
