Engagements at major venues such as the New York Met, La Scala in Milan, the Paris Opéra and the Vienna State Opera, appearances at major events such as the Olympic Games and the reopening of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris: Benjamin Bernheim is "the" French tenor of the moment. With his radiant timbre, fine phrasing and immaculately blended registers, he is currently one of the leading interpreters of French operatic heroes such as Werther, Roméo, Hoffmann and Faust. This also predestines him for the lush sensuality, elegance and poetry of French art songs by Henri Duparc and Ernest Chausson. Bernheim combines these with Spanish songs by Frederic Mompou or Joaquín Turina, which correspond to the character of the French "mélodies", as well as romances by Giacomo Puccini, which do not deny the dramatic flair of the opera composer. In the end, his subtle flair lands him with French chanson classics such as "Les feuilles mortes" or "Douce France" - a movingly beautiful program full of romance, longing and nostalgia!
