On Friday and Saturday he sings in the Munich Opera, next week he will give a recital in Vienna, in three weeks a gala in the Arena in Verona: star tenor Jonas Kaufmann has a full schedule again since the Corona easing.
Germering - Nevertheless, the merchant who lives on Ammersee took time on Tuesday for an unusual appearance at the Germering Carl-Spitzweg-Gymnasium (CSG): The singer signed the keys of the old school grand piano.
The 85 keys have already been expanded and are to be sold - to raise money for a successor instrument.
The old grand piano - donated by a retired CSG teacher - had to be scrapped with a crack in the soundboard.
A new - used - instrument costs 35,000 euros.
The district takes on 20,000 euros as a school authority.
Parents' council, support association and city administration have promised 2000 euros.
The action with Kaufmann should bring in the rest.
Each of the buttons with his name should cost at least 50 euros.
As a student father, the star tenor has been associated with the CSG for a long time.
Headmistress Rita Bovenz was able to win him over for the campaign.
Kaufman took the S-Bahn to Germering.
Bovenz greets him as the “rock star of the opera”.
Such an autograph is of course also a professional.
“I brought my own pens.
When you've seen signing marathons with thousands of photos, you know how important that is. ”When looking at the dismantled wing, most of which have already been disposed of at the recycling center, he says:“ It hurts your soul ”.
