Family Life with the Kaufmanns
Kaufmann's eldest child, Charlotte Kaufmann, is 27 years old, married and recently a mother.
For Jonas Kaufmann, the new arrival will likely be just the first step into the world of grandpa.
After all, he has two other sons from his first marriage, aged 22 and 19.
The youngest son is 6 years old and from his current marriage to opera director Christiane Lutz.
How will Kaufmann master the Role of Grandpa?
BR-KLASSIK attests to Jonas Kaufmann's excellent grandpa qualities. These are known to be responsible for the good mood among grandchildren, for the occasional joke and the funny fluff in his head. Kaufmann recently proved that he is suited for this. On April 01, 2025, he expressed his delight to BR-KLASSIK about the planned space opera, a new production by the Bavarian State Opera. Of course, with him, Jonas Kaufmann.
BR-KLASSIK sends its warmest congratulations these days:
On July 10, the world star celebrates his 56th birthday.

Nelle tue mani 
[Now We Are Free] from "Gladiator"
In 1995, Kaufmann received help from US-American baritone Prof. Michael Rhodes (1923-2013),
who taught him a
"new way of singing"
and how to become
"more relaxed in my voice and in myself".
"To find a Michael Rhodes that can really help you and bring you to success is a great stroke of luck."
