Jakub Józef Orliński

Jakub Jozef Orlinski genuinely floored me. A Warsaw-born countertenor trained at the Chopin University who is also a serious breakdancer is a delicious contradiction, and he wears it joyfully. The gap between his soaring, otherworldly Baroque tone and his spins on the floor is exactly what makes him irresistible. He holds leading roles at the Met, the Royal Opera House and Frankfurt, yet refuses to take himself too seriously, which feels perfectly tuned to this moment. I love artists who vault over genre fences this casually, and he is opening classical music to a whole new generation.
