Tristan und Isolde at the Metropolitan Opera with the participation of Tomasz Konieczny – 2026

„Several wonderful reviews have already appeared after this remarkable premiere, which also marked an important debut: Michel Spyres as Tristan. The entire cast is outstanding. Lise Davidsen, who had already triumphed as Isolde in Barcelona, once again confirms here her extraordinary artistry and vocal power” T.K:

„Tomasz Konieczny on its roster. Konieczny’s Kurwenal is marvellously sung and acted, with impeccable projection and diction.“

„heroic strength.“

„Tomasz Konieczny is the best Kurwenal I’ve had the opportunity to witness. Whether it be his sardonic and aggressive tones in Act one or the impassioned pleas in the final Act as he did his utmost to revive Tristan, his voice sparkled in the theater with tremendous clarity. As he lay dying, he hushed his voice to the softest of sounds, the effect a glorious contrast to his more vocally effusive display prior”

„Tomasz Konieczny presented a strong, compelling Kurwenal. Aside from the power of his bass-baritone, his acting sustained a great interplay with the music, interpreting tension, worry and loyal brotherly love with both his posture and his singing.

„Tomasz Konieczny as Kurwenal had no such trouble. He positively roared, and proved an exceptionally able foil for his lord, Tristan.”

„Tomasz Konieczny’s Kurwenal watching over his old friend with a mixture of anger, empathy, and vocal elegance.”

„Tomasz Konieczny dà invece una prova magistrale come Kurwenal, alternando l’amico leale al guerriero coraggioso, al nobile pronto alla sfida al compagno che cura e protegge Tristano. La voce enorme e l’incisività del fraseggio hanno fatto il resto.”

„Koniecznys Kurwenal räumt ab

Die zweite Sensation des Abends war Tomasz Koniecznys Kurwenal. Ich habe in dieser Rolle schon viele gute Sänger gesehen, aber das, was der einst thronende Wotan in dieser Rolle bot, war einzigartig. Mit Inbrunst ließ er die Gefühle seiner Partie siegessicher von der Bühne strahlen, holte aus den Melodien bislang gänzlich unentdeckte Emotionen heraus.”
