Performers
Piotr Beczała, Tenor
Helmut Deutsch, Piano

Tenor Piotr Beczała is one of opera’s brightest stars. Across an enormous dynamic and stylistic range, he boasts “the kind of voice you want to hang medals on” (Opera News)—a “free and gleaming tenor” that has incredibly “grown in weight and color with the years” (New York Classical Review). He is renowned for breathing new life into numerous iconic roles—the Metropolitan Opera’s 2023 Lohengrin production was called “essential viewing on account of [his] stupendously secure rendition” (The New York Times). Experience one of the world’s most luminous singers in a recital of songs by Tchaikovsky, Grieg, Karłowicz, R. Schumann, and Rachmaninoff with pianist Helmut Deutsch.
