Piotr Beczala | Tenor

A regular performer at top international opera houses, adored by both press and public, Piotr Beczala is certainly one of the foremost lyrical tenors at work today. In only one year, 2010, the singer appeared at London’s Royal Opera House Covent Garden, San Diego Opera, New York’s MET, the opera houses of Vienna, Zurich and Hamburg, St. Petersburg’s Mariinsky Theatre as well as the Opéra National in Paris. Born in southern Poland, Piotr Beczala studied in the city of Katowice. His first professional engagement was with the ensemble of the Linz Landestheater before joining the ensemble of Zurich Opera in 1997, where he retains close links until today. The tenor’s extensive concert repertoire ranges from Mozart and Schubert to the music of Gustav Mahler.
