Tenor Jonas Kaufmann, recovered from a multi-drug resistant germ infection, is appearing in “Doppleganger,” a staged version of Schubert's final songs.
NEW YORK — Finally recovered from a string of illness, tenor Jonas Kaufmann rose from one of 62 neatly ordered hospital beds at the Park Avenue Armory to perform a collection of Schubert songs in “Doppleganger.”
After a string of cancellations, Kaufmann said in early July he had a multi-drug resistant germ infection that caused congested lungs. He was prescribed a high dosage of antibiotics, recuperated at his home in Salzburg, Austria, and returned for performances last month in Australia and Italy. Pierre Audi, the armory’s artistic director since 2015, asked Guth to create a project with Kaufmann. Working with designer Michael Levine, Guth scheduled “Doppleganger” for October 2020 only for the coronavirus pandemic to force a postponement.
Schubert’s mournful final songs, to texts by Ludwig Rellstab and Heinrich Heine, were published after the composer’s death in 1828.
