The opera star will also sing beloved carols popular around the world, such as In the Bleak Midwinter, What Child is This?, O Come, All Ye Faithful (Adeste fideles), and Hark the Herald Angels Sing.

The performance will also feature swinging hits made famous by the likes of Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, and Ella Fitzgerald, including Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, Winter Wonderland, White Christmas, and The Christmas Song.

Kaufmann is no stranger to the festive season, as he saw great success in his 2020 recording It’s Christmas!, which led to the album being extended to include seven newly recorded songs, and was recently re-released on Sony Classical.
