Role debut in Lyon
This autumn I made my house and role debut at the Opéra national de Lyon as Le Prince in Laurent Pelly’s new production of Prokofiev’s L’amour des trois oranges, conducted by Dmitry Matvienko, followed by a concert performance at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris. In March and April 2027 the production travels to the Opéra national du Rhin in Strasbourg and Mulhouse.

"With almost enchanting vocal elegance, the young Dutch tenor Linard Vrielink presented both Arbace arias with highly impressive phrasing culture and messa di voce. They marked another highlight of the eventful opera evening. One can hope for great things from him."

February 2024
The tenor Linard Vrielink was a surprise as Arbace, usually a somewhat underexposed role, the confidant of Idomeneo. Already in the scene where the king tells him about his fateful promise to the gods, he stood out through the combination of his singing and the strongly conveyed emotions. But it was his aria in the third act, preceded by a superbly phrased recitative, that made one regret DNO had not opted for a performance with a young Dutch tenor as Idamante!
Opusklassiek
"Linard Vrielink makes an outstanding Jonathan, handsomely lyrical, his love for David beautifully realised (...)"
