Vladislav Sulimsky has rapidly become one of the leading baritones of the world. In the summer of 2018, he made his debut at the Salzburg Festival as Tomsky(Queen of the Spades) under the baton of Mariss Jansons. In this season 2018/19, he will sing Count Luna (Il Trovatore) at Berlin State Opera and Jago in the new Otello production of the Vienna State Opera.
Since 2004, baritone Vladislav Sulimsky has been a member of the Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg, where he has sung countless parts including the title roles in Eugene Onegin and Gianni Schicchi, Ibn-Hakia (Iolanta), Kovalev (The Nose), Rodrigo (Don Carlo), Silvio (Pagliacci), Andrei Bolkonsky (War and Peace), Enrico (Lucia di Lammermoor), Giorgio Germont (La Traviata), Renato (Un Ballo in Maschera) and Ford (Falstaff).
In 2010 Sulimsky sang Enrico Ashton (Lucia di Lammermoor) at the Mariinsky alongside Nathalie Dessay and Belcore in L’elisir d´amore with Anna Netrebko as Adina, followed by Giorgio Germont (La Traviata) and Robert in Iolanta. A frequent guest at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow, he has performed Prince Kurlyatev in Enchantress by Tchaikovsky and his parade title role Eugene Onegin.
The Belarussian baritone has also maintained a very busy schedule on an international level: in autumn 2012, Sulimsky made his Swedish opera debut at Malmö Opera as Miller in Verdi's Luisa Miller, followed by Renato in Un ballo in maschera at the Stockholm Royal Opera. He performed Ezio in Attila at the Mikkeli Festival in Finland under the baton of Valery Gergiev, and completed the season with a long European tour singing Ibn-Hakia alongside Anna Netrebko in Iolanta.
He continued his collaboration with Anna Netrebko as Count Luna in Il Trovatore at Mariinsky Theatre and performed Posa in Don Carlo at the Baden-Baden Festival, again under the baton of Valery Gergiev. Sulimsky was also called to sing Prince Kurljatew in Tchaikovsky’s Charodeyka (Enchantress) in Christof Loy’s production at the Theater an der Wien, Marcello in La Bohème in Helsinki and Ibn-Hakia in Dallas. His Eugene Onegin at Malmö Opera under the baton of Michail Jurowski in 2015 was followed by his Swiss debut at the Basel theatre in the title role of Macbeth as well as Don Carlo de Vargas in La Forza del destino.
In 2016, Vladislav Sulimsky made a highly successful debut in his first Wagner role as Alberich in Das Rheingold at the Edinburgh Festival and was most recently heard in the title role of Mazeppa at the Oviedo Opera, as Tomsky (Pique Dame) at the Stuttgart opera, Rigoletto at the Sankt Margarethen Opera Festival and the Malmö Opera, Germont (La Traviata) in Dallas, as well as in his debut at the Wiesbaden May Festival in the role of Renato (Un ballo in maschera).
