International Tour - Rame Lahaj

This autumn, tenor Rame Lahaj presents »Passion & Origin« a concert journey through the music that has shaped his artistic path, the voices that inspired him and the sounds that connect him to his roots. One of the leading tenors of his generation, Rame Lahaj has performed on some of the world’s most prestigious stages, including the Royal Opera House Covent Garden, Opéra national de Paris, Teatro Real Madrid, Deutsche Oper Berlin, Staatsoper Berlin, Arena di Verona, Salzburg Festival and Gran Teatre del Liceu.
With »Passion & Origin«, he brings audiences closer to the personal story behind the artist a story shaped by ambition, perseverance, discovery and an enduring connection to home. Passion is music the force that has taken him from his first dream to the great stages of the world. It is the emotion, discipline and devotion that continue to guide his artistic life. Origin is what has always travelled with him, memory, language, culture and the music of home. It is the place from which every journey begins, and the identity that remains present wherever music leads him.
The programme reflects this journey, moving through Italian and French song, cinema and international classics from Nino Rota’s »Parla più piano«, Jacques Brel’s »Ne me quitte pas« and Charles Aznavour’s »La Bohème«, to »Bésame mucho«, »Caruso«, »Fly Me to the Moon« and »My Way«. From the elegance of European song to the timeless melodies of the international repertoire, each piece becomes part of a larger musical narrative.
From there, the journey turns toward home, with melodies from Kosovo and Albania music rooted in tradition, carried through generations and deeply connected to the landscapes, languages and memories that shaped him. A journey through the music that inspired him, the music that accompanied his path and the music that shaped who he is.
