At the age of 25, Petr Nekoranec won the prestigious Concurso Francesco Viñas at the Gran Teatre del Liceu in Barcelona in 2017, where he also received the coveted Plácido Domingo Prize. Two years of studies in New York with the Metropolitan Opera’s Lindemann Young Artist Development Program expanded his experience from the Bayerische Staatsoper in Munich, preparing him for conquering the world of grand opera.

This Nekoranec debut album, featuring French arias, and made with the Czech Philharmonic and seasoned conductor Christopher Franklin, serves as more proof that he is a singer of extraordinary talent.
