JAKUB JÓZEF ORLIŃSKI

Jakub Józef Orliński is an unusual opera and charismatic star. His meteoric arrival in theatres and auditoriums has changed all the tropes about opera divas. Orliński 's interpretations, the magnetism that he establishes with the public, arises spontaneously: without posturing, as they say now. He is obviously gifted with a wonderful countertenor voice and incredible technical mastery. This, together with other facets of his life, such as being a break dancer, or his work as a model in the world of fashion, has contributed to the Baroque repertoire reaching the mass public in a way that had never happened before. Sell-outs follow sell-outs around the world. On his second visit to Les Arts, he is accompanied by Il Pomo d'Oro, an original-instrument group that previously debuted with Joyce Di Donato, in a programme entitled "Beyond", which recovered arias by various Italian Baroque composers from oblivion.
