Tenor Zach Borichevsky is “equipped with a flexible, bright voice that already has made him one of the most sought-after singers of his generation.” Mr. Borichevsky is known as a “star-level tenor” with a “precise, nuanced high-register singing and agile acting”, paired with a “magical sense of complete spontaneity that comes from being in total command of the instrument.” A series of significant débuts have established Mr. Borichevsky as one of the most thrilling vocal talents to appear on the international stage; he has created widely celebrated international performances in roles such as Rodolfo in La bohème with Finnish National Opera, Romeo in Roméo et Juliette for Teatro Municipal de Santiago in Chile, and Alfredo in La Traviata for the Glyndebourne Festival.
Last season, Borichevsky made two last-minute jump-ins: as Edgardo in Lucia di Lammermoor with Opéra Nice Côte d’Azur and in the title role of Faust for Detroit Opera. Of the latter, OperaWire wrote “Borichevsky revealed himself to be a masterful and technically competent lyric tenor with an innate cut and ring… [he] delighted and captivated the audience with his presence.” In addition, Borichevsky reprised his honed performance of Rodolfo in Nashville Opera’s La bohème, sang Messa di Gloria for Toledo Symphony, performed the Duke in Rigoletto with the Rochester Philharmonic, and returned to Aspen Music Festival for Berlioz’s Requiem.
