Jonas Kaufmann je nemecko-rakúsky operný spevák, známy pre širokú škálu úloh, od lyrických po dramatické, a mimoriadnou speváckou i hereckou technikou. Jeho lyricko-dramatický tenor s barytonálnym zafarbením pravidelne znie na scénach Metropolitan Opera v New Yorku, Royal Opera House v Londýne či milánskom Teatro alla Scala.
