Born in Chile in 1988 and raised in the U.S., Jonathan Tetelman decided in his mid-20s to fully commit to his singing talent. In Mark Schnaible, Tetelman found not only his teacher but also his personal mentor. Tetelman’s success proves that his chosen path was the right decision. Tetelman impresses audiences and critics alike on stage with his enormous presence as well as the warm timbre of his voice, and is increasingly in demand not only in his native USA but also in European opera houses. At the same time, the tenor is prudent enough to give himself or his voice time and not to rush into anything. In return, he has already turned down one or two roles: the best prerequisite for a long-lasting career.
His engagements have taken the tenor to the Vienna State Opera, the London Royal Opera House, the Deutsche Oper Berlin, Teatro Regio Turin and the Semperoper Dresden. Tetelman is signed to the Deutsche Grammophon record label, where he released his highly acclaimed debut album "Arias".
