Jakub Józef Orliński, when Gen Y takes over opera 

I wonder if this young man realises that because of his youth, enthusiasm and delightful personality not to mention his beautiful voice he has the power to bring people (who would otherwise fall by the wayside) to opera?

Orlinski is a joyful person and an outstanding singer. He acknowledges that he is from a different generation but does not criticise the opera world of an older generation.

Franchement, il y a des êtres privilégiés qui cumulent tant de dons et de talents ! Ne soyons pas envieux et remercions Jakub de nous les partager avec tant de joie, de simplicité et de générosité ! Un vrai Soleil, apaisant et rayonnant en ces temps si ténébreux ! Merci !

Sometimes after periods of sustained singing and your voice is in shape, things just start happening. You start hitting all the right notes, you are able to do things with your voice that surprise even you, and this euphoria starts to build... I live for those moments

Jakub, the wonderful new tree of strength that we need, fresh , springlike ,talented and inspirational, thank you for being with us.

Mais c est qui ..mais c est quoi ....c est tellement dingue ...Il est beau ..il parle ....tout ...il danse ...avec le corps tout entier ....et il...alors ....la c est le top ...il chante ....mais ...une voix ...avec ses cheveux d anges ....ses dents . ..ce sourire malicieux ....cette voix ...qui va jusqu à l âme ...et désolée mais je ne peux que me souvenir de son premier passage à Avignon...ses mollets ..cette façon de se poser ....SUPERBE ARTISTE protégez le ....c est une merveille ....

Well, the fact he's easy on the eye makes it more interesting.

I love this vision of "hope & bright colors bringer" at the end! ❤This is actually the 2nd video I saw about Jakub, after the phenomenal "flipflop one" in Aix 😉

Today’s artists aren’t necessarily comfortable in front of a camera talking candidly about their work, especially so in different languages. I think you nevertheless set a great example of how to use social media to connect with fans. As someone who is intensely interested in this music, having the opportunity to see performers off stage goofing off, talking about the music, or other interests in life, helps connect me to the artists I admire. Love seeing scenes of tours, rehearsals, and of course, upcoming recordings. Thank you for the extra work involved to share what you finally discovered what you wanted to do in life. Love your positive attitude. Best of luck!

J. J. O. est non seulement un très bon chanteur et/ ou break danseur, mais il est bien mignon. Craquant ! ! !

He is off to a fantastic start, and I am looking forward to watching him mature as an artist and as a person.

You probably will not ever read this, but I want you to know that even though I am over 50, and listen to classical almost exclusively, I have never enjoyed opera until you came along. I was always turned off by the oversinging, shrieking delivery of many female opera singers. I was a recording artist myself, a mezzo soprano, before thyroid cancer. Ah, but that's another life now. I just want to commend you, from one singer to another, and let you know that you have brought this music to me in a fresh way. I knew that there were no more castrati, but somehow I was unaware of true countertenors, and it has made all of the difference to me. Perhaps because of the increased chest cavity, and other things unique to a man, you are able to sing these pieces in a way that I can now hear that there are actual words. Your progression and phrasing, are extraordinary. When I hear female opera singers, they try so hard to project, to me the entire song sounds like an endless arpeggio to which there are no words. I would like to add that I am also half Polish!!!! May God Bless you and endow you with a wonderful career full of joy and happiness and the love of true friends. Enjoy each day, because you never know ( like me) when a performance may be your last.

Energia, bellezza e talento!

Love your energy, multi interests and linguist...yes we can stretch into many art forms! Charming yes! Opera moving into a new age. Thanks!

After watching the spectacular performance, I started to look for upcoming events around me. And as you sad, it is not just being in the suit, your summery look definitely added something to the performance. I believe a lot of people came for that and stayed to listen your brilliant singing. Thank you for introducing me to opera, I would have never thought that I would listen and start to appreciate it without you. I wish you much success in your further career.

Beauté et simplicité très très jolie personne 👍👍👍👍❤

Wonderful. Thanks.

You just bring joy 🙂

So talented and awesome!

OMG Tu es tellement inspirant et intéressant lorsque tu parles. Une nouvelle génération s'ouvre et s'ouvrira à l'opéra grace à ta grâce et ce que tu es sur scène. Toi-même!! ❤❤❤ Vraiment ta voix m'émeut tellement je t'écouterais sans arrêt. Tu danses, tu es coloré, souriant, j'adore ce que tu es et ce que tu nous partage avec tant de générosité !! Merci à toi de nous faire vibrer ainsi!! ❤❤❤

He is ADORABLE.

Äußert sympathisch und voller Lebensfreude ,da macht das zusehen und vor allem zuhören besondere Freude hier kommt die Musik ,der Tanz und die Bühnen Präsenz direkt aus der Freude am sein und genau das ist es was für uns ,seine Fans, den Genuss ausmacht ihm zuzuhören und ihn zu sehen ,ob alleine oder mit anderen Künstlern gemeinsam ,ein neue Generation von Kunst und Künstlern ,die den Staub mit einem Wisch von der Kunst entfernen .wie immer ganz begeister Wolfram Weiler

I knew him last year in the video of "Vedrò con mio diletto" at Warner Classics Channel and I immediately got caught by his voice and presence. Jakub looks natural, fresh, he doesn't need to build a character to show his talent. Great interview, merci!

The previous generation was ‘young and fresh’ too.

complimenti… voce meravigliosa… e straordinario giovane simpatico, divertente e professionale… vitale… un connubio tra antico e moderno difficile da trovare… di buon gusto… Fantastic!!

I really appreciate his musicianship, it‘s lovely. But wait until Millennials start saying, ‚we bring a lot of fresh, young energy than the previous (i.e. his) genereration‘. Fresh ideas and youth don‘t necessarily go together. It‘s the quality of the ideas that count, that‘s not dependant on age.

Proudly Made in Poland :) Superb

Es una persona alegre viendo todo con colores y positivismo❤

Love his voice dance and personality

Adorable et talentueux ! ❤

Orlinski is a new god!

he's amazing!!!!!!

Thank you for your fresh young energy. I am definitely a late comer to your artisry. So much fun.. opera authentic and beautifully geniuine.

Proud of Poland!

Hope-bringer indeed!💚💚

I enjoy watching him perform; and I think counter tenor music is really amazingly beautiful.

Love you, don't stop to be yourself !

I’m in love with him

So much optimism in this kid.

He seems to be such a nice guy!

Super! Tu parles anglais,français ,latin Superbement! Молодец! Moi,aussi,je parle allemagne,français,latin.

The voice of an angel and very cute too!

Great artist! Enjoy! Live! Let yourself being admired and loved! Big momma-bearhug!

Hey, I really repect that you are trying to bring more young people to the opera world. In Holland is the opera world very small. At my school i am the only girl that sings in a choir and is kind of hoping to be an opera singer. The world of opera is slitghly becoming a smaller world, it isn't growing at all in Holland! It is even wird to sing opera and love classical music at my age! Maybe you can come up with something to get it bigger or maybe you can come to Holland one day to maybe reach people with your love for classical music?

You are simply wonderful, and the Swiss-Italian conductor Lorenzo Viotti can be a sweet companion.

0:14 Trop mignon rolalala :)

WSPANIAŁY !!!

si il n'y avait pas internet c'est sûre que je ne t'auraais pas connu et je suis vraiment éblouie de t'avoir écouté en plus tu danses pour ma part c'est tous les atouts ! merci à internet tu es tellement bien ! et tellement beau d'esprit quand tu parles de tes connaissances ! euh bien sûr, j'ai l'impression de m'adresser directement à toi , ceci n'est pas le plus important ! vous pouvez penser que j'abuse mais mes héros ce sont les frères Farinelli et quand je t'écoute et bien c'est nouveau et ça me plaît beaucoup . franchement sur cet opéra tu seras le deuxième de mes héros avec ta voix 😉 après je n'ai pas encore écouté d'autre chanson de toi , je vais explorer sur internet tes autres prestations ;)

Aire fresco! Es magnético actuando y transmite cercanía.

So ein talentierter Sympathico ,fresh energy

Major crush on him omfg

Finally, a proper goddamn interview without some other freaking language being dubbed over it!

Eres un amor 🤗🇨🇱

This guy knows what's up.

Jakub Jósef, 🌷🌷❤❤

VERY CUTE, EVER!!!!!

JAKUB JÓZEF ORLIŃSKI !!!

😍😍😍

He brought me to opera

canım kocam

How did you become interested in Opera (classical) and is there a contemporary opera that you'd like to sing (Philip Glass, anyone?)

You are adorable and I fell in love with you, Jakub. You are Too perfect for this world.

Older people dont get that the reason that video went viral is because he is younger, handsome, was dressed casually and singing great. This is what made it viral and attracted younger audiences. Opera is living art but many times people act like it's this immutable thing where if you're not in a suit somehow it's disrespectful to be singing opera. They forget opera wa basically the top 40 of its time.

I feel like im not doing countertenor I feel like im only doing falsetto everytime I sing ur songs

This is how an angel sounds... and probably how an angel looks I am sure :-)

And it doesn’t hurt that you’re gorgeous

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.

I hope he will look after his voice and not waste his gift on unimportant things.

💜

KOCHAM, KOCHAM, KOCHAM, KOCHAM itd...

Did I just listen to an opera? What the...

I'm in love

No i WRZESZCIE zaśpiewaj Del Torrente!!!!

His so hot! Damn! When he sings he turn into a Greek God or something hahah!

I'm shocked to hear the middle-of-the-road-sounding tone of his speaking voice. I was expecting it to be higher. Is there no correlation at all between someone's normal speaking range and their singing range?

J'aime tout chez lui! Enfin, à part le breakdance, mais je n'aime pas le breakdance de toute façon! Essayez de faire de la danse classique, Je pense que c'est beaucoup mieux.

Singing is much better than the dancing.

What does break dancing have to do with anything?

countertenor is a choice. I think it sounds boring too airy and light very frustrating to listen to. if you engaged more voce di petto to balance the voe di testa youd sound more exciting to go with that body. but love the B-boy moves. you know how to rock that body.

What a so band singer !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When will he finish teaching himself how to sing?

Est-il gay ?

Drop the Americanisms immediately! The only thing you have demonstrated is your lack or refinement and good sense. Please work on interpretation. Realize that counter-tenors have been unnecessary for almost 300 years now. There will always be people who are impressed by gimmicks and tricks and looks, but men and women of quality only care about interpretation and authenticity.

C'est moi où il est complètement IRRÉSISTIBLE ?? Ce Jakub n'est pas comme les autres chanteurs d'opéra...

Exprime toi.

Par son manque de souffle, son peu de sensibilité et son éparpillement culturel il est un des symboles de cette nouvelle génération qui confond tout et ne comprend rien à rien, qui chante Vivaldi comme on s'en va bosser au bureau...Le parfait reflet du monde actuel. Du vide sans poil autour.

Jakub, ¿Are you gay? You are so beautiful, so you better be!!.... Is all I have to say!!...

Opera needs good singing and not "young and fresh energy" of people who have NO IDEA about what opera singing means. He is arrogant enough to tell us that he "can do everything with his voice"! ??? 🙈 hes unable to produce one single loud and beautiful tone! Its constricted meowing which needs to be miked to be heard what he shows so proudly to the deaf audience who are in love with his pretty appearance.

omg... "you can do what you want with your voice"? come on.. it's a joke ! no high notes, no low notes and no coloraturas ( and no dynamics..) get a vocal coach !

thats not Opera. thats a big fake. Yes fresh air, they sing so BADBADBAD with no sound. they can do only those things because they are always MIKED. But OPERA is singing without mikes. This is musical, what he is doing.
