Valencia (May 11, 2022). The Palau de les Arts closes its 'Lied' cycle this Sunday, May 15, with the highly anticipated recital by Jakub Józef Orli?ski, considered by the public and critics to be the countertenor of the moment.

A charismatic performer with an impeccable and elegant singing style, the young Jakub Józef Orli?ski (Warsaw, 1990) has become, in record time, one of the most promising stars on the international opera scene.

A champion of the new generation of countertenors, his debut album of arias, 'Anima Sacra', won the Gramophone Award for Best Young Artist in 2019 and the Opus Klassik Award, while his album 'Facce d'amore' was named Best Recording at the International Opera Awards. He recently released his third album, 'Anima Aeterna'.

The sought-after singer, invited by theaters such as the Metropolitan in New York and Covent Garden in London, can also boast of attracting new audiences and hanging the 'no tickets available' sign in auditoriums and concert halls in Europe and the United States.

In his first performance at Les Arts, Jakub Józef Orliński will offer a selection of pieces by Baroque composers such as Purcell and Handel, as well as works by 19th-century Polish composers, accompanied on the piano by Michań Biel.

The sought-after artist is also a renowned star in the media and on social networks with thousands of followers, who venerate both his genius as a countertenor and his undeniable talent as a break dancer.

Les Arts reminds everyone that tickets for the 'Lied' cycle, which takes place in the Main Hall, are priced between 10 and 40 euros.
