"Ukrainian tenor Mykhailo Malafii is the real deal, vocally heroic and heart-rending in equal measure, with an authentic Puccinian robustness to his delivery of the character’s set-piece arias."

The name of Mikhail Malafij is not unknown to the Czech audience. In 2013 he won the Antonín Dvořák International Singing Competition in Karlovy Vary. He made his debut on the stage of the State Opera in the 2023/24 season in Tosca as Cavaradossi, and in the new production of Rusalka at the National Theatre we can look forward to his alternation in the iconic role of the Prince. At the beginning of February, the audience of the National Theatre in Brno can watch his performance, where he will make his debut as the Knight Des Grieux in Puccini's opera Manon Lescaut, directed by Štěpán Pácl and conducted by Ondrej Olos. Michajlo is a romantic in body and soul, the character of Knight Des Grieux fulfils him inwardly. He has subordinated his whole life to the preparation for his performances on the boards that mean the world, he is strict with himself and follows a disciplined routine. He plans to return to Ukraine in the near future, where he is preparing for more roles with the Lviv Opera.
