Countertenor and breakdancer Jakub Józef Orliński | Portrait of the multi-talented opera singer

[@kasiabasiaa]

I went to his recital, he did a backflip during the encore 😂 Fantastic artist.

[@DWClassicalMusic]

😮

[@YYC403NOYP]

I was gonna comment that I'll be a big fan of his if he can break dance and sing at the same time. And here you are just stating the closest thing to my wish😊

[@shyrleirosin8261]

Maravilhoso. Deixa- me muito emocionada com o seu talento e tamanha sensibilidade!

[@nixlayful]

God is on a really good mood when He created this man

[@loretomendez8784]

También, lo creó! 👌

[@erynn9968]

This guy deserves a special opera written for him. An opera about a breakdancer.

[@margietunes]

Love it!!!

[@hackieagoncillo1577]

He's an all in package. Not only is he talented but he's incredibly attractive.

[@willianrobertgomes247]

I've met him in person and he's so nice as well. I'm a huge fan

[@theshadowoflavoisin]

Honestly though the man is not only incredibly talented at opera singing and breakdancing, he also looks like Michelangelo's David and he seems like a nice gentle guy, so much inside and outside beauty in one man 😍

[@beachbum4691]

With so many high-energy winners as I call them "so much inside and outside beauty in one man" really is what it's all about, these wonderful people are known for a single skill at which they are deemed outstanding, but the same people=high-energy winners have a million other talents and qualities that are unseen, yet make them truly exceptional. Best wishes :)

[@ewamadej975]

Zgadzam się w 100%. Taki jest.😊❤

[@frankzepeda1235]

Jakob took the title role of Gluck's Orfeo Ed Euridice last fall at San Francisco Opera by starting off the performance with a fantastic break dance. And the signature aria "Che Faro" was one for the ages: he truly felt the broken character which clearly came out in the vocals. A superb singer and actor. ...

[@DWClassicalMusic]

Hello Frank Zepeda, thanks for letting us know: sounds like a great way to combine his two passions 🙂

[@alh6255]

Once upon a time he was booked to sing with us - but I think it fell too far out of his remit. But he was then and looks like he still is a lovely guy, genuine and deserves the success as his musicality and passion for this repertoire was real.

Where are all the female altos? I prefer parity and balance, 2 men, 2 women. Why today I almost can't find for example the Bach's B minor mass sung by a female alto? Is the beautiful female solo alto singing going to extinct?

He would probably not be an "ordinary" gardener, but a very special one... 😀

[@caraboska]

A co, Jakubie Józefie, jeśli będziesz się czuł młodo jeszcze za 20 lat? W Ameryce przecież zwykło się ostatnio mówić, że "50-ka to nowa 30-ka". Dlaczego nie miałbyś to być ty? And what, Jakub Józef, if you still feel young in another 20 years? After all, in America, it has become customary lately to say that "50 is the new 30". Why shouldn't that be you?

[@yogajedi3337]

If he used his natural voice instead his voice would fly and shouldn't sound so ridiculous as these constricted type of voices do.

I'm a countertenor too, and Jakub's explanation of how he discovered he was a countertenor is similar to mine. It's always great to hear other countertenors and their stories.
