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.
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 season, 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, Hermann Ortel in a new production of Wagner’s Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, and as the Imperial Commissioner in Puccini's Madama Butterfly. In the current season, he takes on the role of Schabernack in Ligeti's Le Grand Macabre, Jack Wallace and José Castro in Puccini's La fanciulla del West, Leuthold in Rossini's Guillaume Tell and Jäger in Dvořák's Rusalka.
Nikita Ivasechko is a scholarship holder of the Czerwenka Private Foundation.
