Baritone
Belarussian baritone Vladislav Sulimsky has rapidly become one of the leading singers in the world. Ever since his performance of Prince Kurljatew in Tchaikovsky’s Charodeyka (Enchantress) in Christof Loy’s production at the Theater an der Wien in 2014, Sulimsky gained a lot of international attention. In the summer of 2018, he made his debut at the Salzburg Festival as Tomsky (Pique Dame) under the baton of Mariss Jansons, followed by Count Luna (Il trovatore) at the Berlin State Opera, Jago (Otello) at the Vienna State Opera, and his role debut as Scarpia (Tosca) at the Malmö opera. He also made his house debut at the Munich State Opera with Count Luna and finally Macbeth in 2023 in the Barrie Kosky production at the Salzburg Festival.
As early as 2010, Sulimsky sang Enrico Ashton (Lucia di Lammermoor) at the Mariinsky alongside Nathalie Dessay and Belcore in L’Elisir d´Amore with Anna Netrebko as Adina, followed by Giorgio Germont (La Traviata) and Robert in Iolanta. A frequent guest at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow, he has performed Prince Kurlyatev in Enchantress by Tchaikovsky and his parade title role Eugen Onegin.
In autumn 2012 Sulimsky made his Swedish opera debut at Malmö Opera as Miller in Verdi's Luisa Miller, followed by Renato in Un ballo in maschera at the Stockholm Royal Opera. He performed Ezio in Attila at the Mikkeli Festival in Finland under the baton of Valery Gergiev, and completed the season with a long European tour singing Ibn-Hakia alongside Anna Netrebko in Iolanta. His Eugene Onegin at the Malmö Opera under the baton of Michail Jurowski in 2015 was followed by his Swiss debut at the Basel theatre in the title role of Macbeth, and later on as Don Carlo de Vargas in La Forza del destino.
In 2016, Vladislav Sulimsky made a highly successful debut in his first Wagner role as Alberich in Das Rheingold at the Edinburgh Festival. His Frankfurt Opera debut was a scenic Tchaikovsky evening staged by Christof Loy. At the Berlin Philharmonic he sang in Rachmaninov’s Francesca da Rimini and the title role of Mazeppa conducted by Kyrill Petrenko. In summer 2021, he sang Miller in Verdi’s Luisa Miller at the Glyndebourne Festival.
