Mein Wien (“My Vienna”) is Jonas Kaufmann’s deeply personal tribute to the world-famous melodies from the birthplace of waltz and operetta and follows up the album release from Fall 2019. The 97-minute film consists of Jonas Kaufmann’s Wiener Konzerthaus concert interspersed with documentary-style segments where Kaufmann explores the city’s fascinating lighter musical heritage. The concert includes well-known Viennese songs like “Wien, Wien nur du allein,” “Im Prater blühn wieder die Bäume,” and “Sag beim Abschied leise ‘Servus’.” He also sings scenes from famous operettas such as The Merry Widow, Wiener Blut and Die Fledermaus, where soprano Rachel Willis-Sørensen joins him on the duets.
