Jonathan Tetelman

Lauded for his “vocally magnificent, radiant and distinctive tenor” voice, Jonathan Tetelman has rapidly risen to become a major star of his generation. Chilean-born and New Jersey-raised, Tetelman continues to thrill on the world’s greatest stages with “balmy verve” and a “darkly colored tenor timbre.”

In the 2023/24 season, Tetelman makes his tremendously anticipated MET Opera debut as Ruggero in La rondine under the baton of Speranza Scappucci, followed closely by appearances as Pinkerton in the Met’s iconic Madama Butterfly of Anthony Minghella. On the concert stage, Jonathan Tetelman appears as soloist in gala concerts with the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin at the Berlin Konzerthaus and with the Prague Philharmonia at Dvorak Hall in the Rudolfinum for an evening of Puccini, among many others. 

Jonathan Tetelman made his highly auspicious debuts last season with the San Francisco Opera as Alfredo in La traviata, with Houston Grand Opera as Cavaradossi in Tosca, and with the Salzburg Festival as Macduff in Verdi’s Macbeth. In the 2021/22 season, Tetelman starred as Rodolfo in an operatic film of La bohème, co-produced by Radiotelevisione Italia (RAI) and Opera di Roma, and many more highly successful performances. 

Jonathan Tetelman recently signed an exclusive multi-album contract with Deutsche Grammophon. Together with Orquesta Filarmónica de Gran Canaria conductor Karel Mark Chichon, he recorded his first album, entitled Arias, released in 2022. His highly anticipated second album The Great Puccini was released in September 2023. His album Arias earned Jonathan the 2023 Opus Klassik Young Artist of the Year.
