Polish tenor Piotr Beczała is one of the most sought-after opera singers of our time and a constant guest in the world’s leading opera houses. He is acclaimed not only for the beauty of his voice but also for his ardent commitment to each character he portrays. In the 2015/16 season alone he sang Edgardo in Lucia de Lammermoor at the San Francisco Opera, the Duke in Rigoletto at the Metropolitan Opera in New York and Werther at the Opéra National de Paris. He also appeared in Un ballo in maschera at both the Bavarian State Opera and the Vienna State Opera and sang the title role in Wagner’s Lohengrin opposite Anna Netrebko at the Semperoper Dresden. In addition to his operatic roles Beczała also gives regular concert performances at major festivals and important concert venues. In Ljubljana he will offer a selection of arias from the most famous French and Italian operas of the nineteenth century. The RTV Slovenija Symphony Orchestra, which this year celebrates its 60th anniversary, will be conducted by the French maestro Marc Piollet, who has enjoyed a rich career conducting opera in the world’s most prestigious opera houses and is also frequently heard conducting the symphonic repertoire.

The honorary sponsor is the Ambassador of the Republic of Poland H. E. Mr Pawel Czerwiński.
