Subscribe: clssicfm.co/SubscribeToClassicFM
Opera and breakdancing “have quite a lot in common” according to opera’s new star countertenor - here’s everything you need to know.
Jakub Józef Orlińksi is a 28-year-old Polish countertenor, best known for combining two unlikely art forms: opera and breakdancing.
A rising star of the opera world, he has recently appeared at Glyndebourne, Frankfurt Opera and Verbier Festival.
We caught up with Jakub about his recent Glyndebourne appearance, what singing as a countertenor involves and - how those impressive dance moves contribute to his career in opera.

I knew him through his singing and seeing him breakdance just... i caaaant...

[@Billy-dj8zw]

I love him too.

[@Billy-dj8zw]

This man is the living proof that ANGELS REALLY DO EXIST. And they live amongs us, humans.

[@usuitakumi8179]

And that angels do breakdance.

[@jolantasaracin]

That's all true ❤🧡💛💚💙💜😇

[@Billy-dj8zw]

@@nickright7747 I am hopelessly in love with Jakub.

[@OmnipresentPotato]

@@nickright7747 he is handsome, a lovely singer, a graceful acrobat, a physically fit model, and, as I've conversed with him at one of his performances before, he is a very kind person, and very sweet. Also, as it happens, he is a multilingual, which is a sign of intelligence. What more could you ask for?

[@jankucera8180]

@@usuitakumi8179 Breakdance is an artform, too...

[@nceleste63]

He's so awesome. I love way he follow's his star. Breakdancing and opera! Love the way he breaks the mold of tradition. More power to you Jacob!

[@jfhayet]

He is amaizng on all levels. I have been following him for a few years now and his talent and career juts get better and better. Trying to catch oneof his smaller concerts in Europe in the near future.

[@arnoldamaral7406]

JF Hayet Let us know how the concert goes etc. I just heard him for the first time a couple of months ago. Very impressive voice & not arrogant like that guy from Australia Benson someone. Soprano counter tenor. Very over rated all the comments were about he's so cute BLAH BLAH BLAH. This is about OPERA not a handsome contest. 👱👴🎶🎵🎼🌏🌎🌍 Arnold Bourbon Amaral

Very smart and useful point about body awareness. Being free with your body has a huge positive impact on the singing technique 👍👏

[@Euxiphipops77]

0:50 Ten śmiech, padłem :D :D I wonder what the reaction would be if he did these breakdance tricks between two pieces when singing classically in say Carnegie Hall.

[@jobond3317]

Sounds so beautiful. Thanks for the explanation

[@akito7025]

Imagine if he sang while break dancing

[@cerenyldz2754]

I would like to see more Hip hop dancing videos from him on KZbin...

[@produccioinformatius8439]

Dears, We are writing you from the news programme (CCMA - TV3, a public television located in Barcelona (Spain)). That is why we would kindly ask you for permission to use this video because we will have a news about an Orlinski concert in Barcelona. Please, let us know as soon as possible if you allow us to use this video. Best regards.

[@valtheix2429]

Seems like many people would like to be more aware of his body also.

[@peterdacius]

Cool voice

[@juniorfranca5499]

Arte

[@andrewmicharin6751]

😍

[@georgealderson4424]

This is the first time I have heard I have heard JJO speaking. It was a surprise that his voice is quite deep. As for his comment "I am aware of my body" well then he is never going to be lonely haha Would he be so popular if he did not have the good looks I wonder? I would like to think so but doubt it. At least the one thing leads to another I suppose.

[@mscott3918]

It's interesting that most counter tenors are naturally baritones.

[@jacobmorris3664]

@@mscott3918 His speaking voice isn't notably deep.

[@mscott3918]

I think we are all aware of his body.

Waaaait a minute. I just watch an interview of his on Warner classics and his accent was muuuch thicker. How did he he improve like that?!

[@konigin61]

A singing angel. A dancing angel. Have you tried to do both at the same? ...boy, it'll be interesting... ;)

[@MiracleWinchester]

Ummm excuse me to the moon. THEE JAKUB!!!?!

[@thunder8bunny]

does anyone know the name of the piece they used for the ending credits? thanks in advance!

[@aubreyravenl]

Knights on bicycles wow

[@mscott3918]

Typically Glydebourne, unfortunately.

[@deadworms]

he can sing opera, he can dance, he have the looks the body. I don't haver any of this. Therefore we are all not created equally.

[@NatashaSallesSoprano]

And where was the link between opera and break dancing in this video?????

[@georgealderson4424]

I think he was referring to being aware of his body and the physical place it has in art forms

[@Krolix932]

Opera - Mussorgsky - Gopak - Breakdance :D

[@elianegois1904]

Beijado por Deus

That withdrawal was, of course, purely "incidental" 😜

[@Billy-dj8zw]

Is he an angel, or is he a God? I can't decide.

Lucius Vorenus God inspired! Certainly

He is Michael Angelo alive.

Guess he took a break from Olympus and went out on vacation...
