Hailed as “the most beautiful tenor voice since Luciano Pavarotti” (Süddeutsche Zeitung), tenor Benjamin Bernheim has ignited an opera-world frenzy unlike any in recent years. His electrifying rise has taken him from the world’s greatest stages—the Met, La Scala, the Royal Opera House, Palais Garnier—to historic moments like performing at the closing ceremonies of the Paris Olympics and the reopening of Notre Dame Cathedral, earning him the title of “France’s new favorite tenor.” (The New York Times). Now, in a rare recital appearance for his Princeton University Concerts debut, Bernheim trades the grand opera house for an intimate chamber setting, bringing his signature artistry to a handpicked program of romance, longing, and nostalgia. From the lush sensuality of Duparc and Chausson to Spanish and South American gems by Mompou, Turina, and Ginastera, the evening culminates in the timeless melodies of Puccini and the poignant beauty of French chanson. No grand sets, no spectacle—just one of the world’s greatest tenors unfiltered, singing his favorite music just for you.
