The Russian tenor Dmitry Korchak is one of the most sought-after singers of his generation and is also a successful conductor. He quickly made a name for himself internationally after winning the International Tenor Viñas Competition in Barcelona and two prizes at Plácido Domingo’s Operalia competition.

Following further performances at the opera house in Rome as Alfredo (La traviata), in summer 2026 he will return to Salzburg for further performances of Il viaggio a Reims and sing in Rossini’s Stabat Mater at the Rossini Opera Festival in Pesaro.
His plans for the 2026/27 season include Nadir (Les Pêcheurs de perles) and Don Ottavio (Don Giovanni) at La Scala, Milan, Arturo (I puritani) at the Bellini Festival in Catania, Rossini’s Petite Messe solennelle at the Teatro dell’Opera in Rome, Pollione at the Teatro Real in Madrid, Lensky at the Teatro Regio in Turin and Mozart in Rimsky-Korsakov’s Mozart and Salieri and Mozart’s Requiem with the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra.
