Piotr Beczała, Prince of Tenors

Lyric audiences have lavished extraordinary acclaim on Piotr Beczała. The ovations he’s received here have been richly deserved, for Beczała’s starring roles on our stage – the title role of Faust (debut, 2009) and Edgardo in Lucia di Lammermoor(2016) – showed what every other major house worldwide has discovered as well: this is one of the truly great tenors of our time. With a shining voice, princely looks, extraordinary versatility, and dazzling charisma, Beczała is now at the peak of a spectacular career. He’s a great favorite at the Met (where he returns this season in Luisa Miller) and he’s beloved at Munich’s Bavarian State Opera, the Salzburg Festival, and countless other prestigious venues.
