About Jakub

One of the most beloved and celebrated opera stars of this decade, Jakub Józef Orliński has established himself as one of the world’s leading artists, triumphing on stage, in concert, and in recording. His sold-out concerts and recitals throughout Europe and America have attracted new followers to the art form. An exclusive artist on the Warner Classics/Erato label, his most recent recording accompanied by friend and pianist Michał Biel entitled “Farewell” earned him the prestigious Opus Klassik award for Male Singer of the Year (2023). His new album “Beyond” has been released in October 2023 and will tour throughout the world this season with Il Pomo d’Oro.

Jakub has a global fanbase with hundreds of thousands of social media followers and has worked as a model and influencer with international brands including Netflix, Louis Vuitton, Levi’s, Nike, BMW, Lacoste and MAC Cosmetics. He is also an accomplished breakdancer – prizes include fourth place fourth place at the Red Bull BC One Poland Cypher competition, and second place at both the Stylish Strike – Top Rock Contest and The Style Control competition. Few other opera singers can claim to have conquered the stages of the world’s greatest concert halls and the covers of Polish Vogue, Esquire, and Elle, but this is a testament to Jakub’s unique pop star appeal. His “ravishing” (The Guardian) live performances have sold out concert halls and opera houses all over the world.

In the upcoming 24/25 season, Orliński will continue to tour across Europe with Il Pomo d’Oro at Bayreuth Baroque Opera Festival, Peterskirche Basel, Wigmore Hall in London, NTGent Schouwburg Ghent and Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg. His new project #LetsBaRock with Aleksander Dębicz will also be premiered at Concertgebouw in Amsterdam and at Kammermusiksaal of the Berliner Philharmoniker in September 24. The new year will bring more touring with Il Pomo d’Oro in Asia and operatic performances performing the role of Ottone in Agrippina at Opernhaus Zurich and oratorio performances including Pergolesi’s Stabat Mater at the Grand Théâtre de Genève and Handel’s Deborah in Utrecht, Paris, Vienna and Bayreuth.

Jakub is based in Warsaw, Poland

  • Semele

    Munich Opera Festival
    Jul 2023
    • Jakub Jozef Orlinski, the countertenor in the role of Athamas, is also a breakdancer, which Guth spotlights when his character desperately attempts to entertain Semele. Charismatic and handsome, Orlinski stopped the show with the applause his dance earned. But more enchanting was the purity of his sound — sublimely crystalline in “Come, Zephyrs, come” — which blended warmly with the lower end of Athamas’s altolike tessitura.
