Georgiy Derbas-Richter

Baritone

The Ukrainian baritone Georgiy Derbas-Richter studied at the Conservatory of Kyiv, and came to the Netherlands in the spring of 2022 to audition for the Dutch National Opera Studio. Right after his acceptance, war broke out in his home country, and fundraising made it possible for him to join the Studio immediately. In the short time that  Georgiy has been here, he sang the aria ‘Come Paride Vezzoso’ from L’elisir d’amore by Gaetano Donizetti, and performed the role of Second Witch in Dido and Aeneas – Henry Purcell’s opera in a production of Dutch National Opera Studio and the Netherlands Chamber Orchestra, that was performed at Paradiso in Amsterdam. In season 2022/2023 of Dutch National Opera, Georgiy was previously seen in the role of Morales in George Bizet's Carmen.
