Why this article was re-written
editI have re-written this article. Even if the article's creator is the web master of Mr. Johannsson's official site, they cannot simply copy and paste the material into Wikipedia. They need to verify who actually owns the copyright and that they are releasing it into the public domain. (See [1] for guidance on how to do this. If not, it will be summarily removed.
However, such material is invariably unsuitable for a Wikipedia biography article, even with the copyright holder's permission unless it is re-written to conform to Wikipedia style Guidelines [2] and to ensure that it has a neutral point of view, and no conflict of interest.
Most importantly, such material from an official web site (or management site) must be backed up by additional verifiable and reliable independent sources. (See [3] for more). I know that Mr. Johannsson has had a substantial career, and have seen him perform at Covent Garden myself, which is why I took the trouble to edit this article (otherwise it would have been a candidate for deletion or even speedy deletion), but it still needs more independent, reliable sources.
