Herbstgold 2026: Weltmusik

23.09.2026
Rolando Villazón, tenor
Janoska Ensemble

Classics by Mozart, Lehár, and Verdi, newly arranged
in the unique Janoska style: opera, operetta, and fiery tango in an evening full of passion, virtuosity, and zest for life.
Rolando Villazón has long conquered all the great stages of the world. As Nemorino in "L'elisir d'amore" at the Vienna State Opera, as Alfredo in "La Traviata" at the Salzburg Festival, and as Rodolfo in Robert Dornhelm's film adaptation of "La Bohème," in all three cases alongside Anna Netrebko, he has inscribed himself in the annals of operatic interpretation. But also as a song interpreter and zarzuela singer, as well as generally with a repertoire from Baroque to contemporary, Villazón proves his skill. The author, illustrator, and comedian has long been successful as a director, serves as a cultural ambassador for his homeland Mexico, and is the Artistic Director of the Salzburg Mozart Week. Together with the Janoska Ensemble, the tenor now approaches well-known classics by Mozart, Lehár, and Verdi under entirely new circumstances, which sound newly arranged in the unique Janoska style: This means opera, operetta, and tango in an evening full of passion, virtuosity, and zest for life.
