The young Chilean-American tenor Jonathan Tetelman presents his debut album covering a thrilling range of operatic arias. Spanning familiar music by Bizet and Verdi as well as rarities by the likes of Zandonai and Flotow, the album demonstrates Tetelman's exceptional artistry and remarkable vocal gifts. Karel Mark Chichon conducts the Orquesta Filarmónica de Gran Canaria, and Vida Miknevicǐut̄e ̇joins the rising opera star for a duet on the record....

An adaptation of the 1957 musical, it explores forbidden love and the rivalry between the Jets and the Sharks, two teenage street gangs of different ethnic backgrounds. Directed by Steven Spielberg with original music by Leonard Bernstein and performances from the cast including Ansel Engort, Rachel Zegler, Ariana Debose, Mike Faist, and more.

This album endeavors to illuminate the composer's shadow: those who formed the foundation of his compositional aesthetic and sculpted the framework of vocal writing that would become the Wagnerian tenor.
