Tomasz Konieczny – opera singer, film and theater actor – is currently one of the leading bass-baritons in the world. He has been singing in the Vienna Staatsoper for over ten years. In July 2018 he appeared as the first Pole at the Wagner Festival in Bayreuth, and in March 2019 he will make his debut at the Metropolitan Opera in New York.
