Jonas Kaufmann, Met Stars Live in Concert review: oddly depressing show from empty Baroque library
Back in April, when the world was still in shock from the lockdown, the Metropolitan Opera bravely assembled an online gala, somewhat amateurishly filmed from singers’ homes on their laptops. The event was free-to-view and marred by the odd technical glitch, but is reported to have raised over $3m in donations. Just as importantly, it touched the hearts of hundreds of thousands of fans across the world. We have come a long way since then: methods of streaming such concerts have become more sophi

Jonas Kaufmann keeps his personality hidden in this unexceptional documentary - review
Trailed on the voiceover as “arguably the greatest singer of his generation”, the German tenor Jonas Kaufmann was the subject of a leisurely, amiable – and at 90 minutes, over-extended – documentary. Director John Bridcut followed him through a series of globe-trotting triumphs, interspersed with the usual snatches of interview and talking heads (briefly including myself) spouting compliments and platitudes. There were cute glimpses of the star cheering Bayern Munich on from the stands and snea
