At the Podium | Jakub Jozef Orlinski (Be Yourself and Believe in Your Journey)

“You cannot please everyone. So you just have to be your own self and believe in your journey and learn about yourself the most," says internationally acclaimed operatic countertenor Jakub Jozef Orlinski. His singing career is ascendant. His performances have been heralded at the great opera houses of the world - including The Metropolitan Opera in New York, The Royal Opera House at Covent Garden in London, and The Theatre Des Champs-Elysees in Paris. His recitals from Chile to Poland, Germany to the United States are sold out. And his lyrical and emotionally impactful alto voice has earned Jakub the praise of the public AND the critics who have called him “angelic,” and a singer who is making the opera relatable and sexy. Behind the applause, he is a committed artist who recounts initially being rejected by top music programs globally, rejected for summer internships, and losing first round in competitive vocal competitions. He recalls of his beginnings, “There was constantly a fight for a place. Constantly.” What got him through those rough times and sustains him today in the unrelenting scrutiny of fame and success is focusing on the quality of the art he is making, believing in his journey, and owning and knowing his voice.

He sings like an angel. He sings soul to soul.

[@patrickhueyatthepodium229]

He absolutely does!

[@quaver1239]

Oh gosh, yes. Have not ever heard such a thrilling counter tenor voice. Sometimes have wondered whether his singing would sound so great without his outstanding good looks: It does! Eyes closed, my brother playing various counter tenors for me, I can pick THE VOICE every time!

@@quaver1239 agreed! the talent is real and emotionally impactful.

Fantastic countertenor! What makes him so special in the world of countertenors was the ability to find his own special masculine sounding countertenor voice throughout the whole register. He is so different from other countertenors who usually were thrown or threw themselves into kind of female sounding voices... Jakub has always had a vision and worked so hard to make it happen. On top of that, his outgoing, friendly personality lets him communicate with the audience so easily. He is a natural and charismatic communicator when on stage. Well done Jakub. Hope to see much more Jakub's great achievements in the future and sharing them with people. He is a total gem.
