Piotr Beczala (born 28 December 1966) is a Polish operatic tenor.
Life
Becza?a was born in Czechowice-Dziedzice in southern Poland and initially trained in Katowice, both Upper Silesia. He studied under Sena Jurinac in Switzerland. His first engagements were with the Linz State Theatre from 1992 to 1997, after which he became a regular member of Zurich Opera. One of his early roles in Zurich was that of Matteo in Richard Strauss’ Arabella (with Cheryl Studer in the title role). Between 2004 and 2006, Beczala made several major international house debuts. In April 2004, he made his debut at London's Royal Opera House as the Italian Tenor in Der Rosenkavalier, later returning in October of that year in the title role of Faust, then in June 2005 as the Duke in Rigoletto, and in September 2006, again in Faust. In November 2004, he made his San Francisco Opera and American debut as Lensky in Eugene Onegin. Beczala's La Scala debut came in January 2006 as the Duke in Rigoletto, the role in which he also made his Metropolitan Opera, New York, debut on December 19, 2006. In 2007, Beczala was awarded the Munich Opera Festival Prize.
In 2012/2013, Beczala reprised his role as the Duke in Michael Mayer's new "Rat Pack" production of Rigoletto at the Metropolitan Opera. Following a hostile reception from the loggionisti at the opening night of the 2013/14 La Scala season in La traviata, Becza?a announced his refusal ever to appear in another production at La Scala.
Becza?a's commercial recordings include a Farao Classics recording of La traviata (as Alfredo Germont), and the complete songs of Karol Szymanowski.
In 2018 Beczala was awarded the International Opera Awards - Best Singer. In 2018, Beczala signed an exclusive, multi-album contract with Pentatone. His first solo recording on the label, Vincero!, was released in 2020.
