BIOGRAPHY
‘The writer cannot remember such a promising ensemble baritone: an extraordinarily rich-sounding, exceptionally beautiful voice, reminiscent of Thomas Hampson's colour in the upper register’
Martin Gasser | Kronen Zeitung | 6 October 2024
‘The surprise of the evening, however, was new ensemble member Nikita Ivasechko as Wolfram von Eschenbach. He steered his baritone, endowed with immense colourfulness, through the cliffs of this role with astonishing ease.’
Michaela Reichart | Kronen Zeitung | 6 October 2024
Ukrainian baritone Nikita Ivasechko was born in St. Petersburg and studied at the Glier Kyiv Institute of Music with Prof. Vitaliy Gmudenko and Prof. Tamara Koval, after which he graduated from both the Hochschule für Musik und Tanz Köln with Prof. Mario Hoff, and the Hochschule für Musik Detmold with KS Prof. Mario Zeffiri. From October 2023, he has continued his studies at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna with Karl Heinz Hanser.
While still a student, he received his first invitations to the Landestheater Detmold as Count Almaviva in Mozart's Le nozze di Figaro and, with the same role, to the Goetheanum in Dornach, in a production directed by Jasmin Solfaghari and promoted by Pamy GmbH Media Production.
At the 2022 Opening Gala Concert of the Jurmala Festival in Riga, Nikita Ivasechko sang a selection of opera arias by Bellini, Bizet and Verdi with the Jurmala Festival Orchestra conducted by Mārtiņš Ozoliņš. Together with the soprano Maria Nazarova and accompanied by the Italian conductor Michele Gamba, he further appeared in a recital concert in Milan, featuring excerpts from Mozart's Le nozze di Figaro, Don Giovanni and Verdi's Don Carlo.
Nikita was awarded first prize in the 2021 edition of the Concorso Lirico Internazionale di Portofino under the jury chairmanship of Dominique Meyer, while he received second prize at the Belvedere Singing Competition 2022, which also included a guest engagement at Deutsche Oper am Rhein in Dusseldorf.
In the 2022/2023 and 2023/2024 seasons, Nikita Ivasechko joined the Young Artist Program of the Vienna State Opera, where he has since performed roles such as Fiorello in Rossini's Il barbiere di Siviglia, José Castro in Puccini’s La fanciulla del West, Jäger in Dvořák’s Rusalka and Leuthold in Rossini’s Guillaume Tell. Since the beginning of the current season, Nikita Ivasechko has been a member of the Graz Opera ensemble, where he can be seen in new productions of Wagner's Tannhäuser as Wolfram von Eschenbach, Mozart's Così fan tutte as Guglielmo and Britten's A Midsummer Night's Dream as Demetrius.
Nikita Ivasechko will make his debut at the Bregenz Festival in 2025 as Thésée in George Enescu's Oedipe.
Nikita Ivasechko was a scholarship holder of the Czerwenka Private Foundation.
