| Artur Ruciński backstage as di Luna in Venice and at the Rosenblatt Recitals |
Artur Ruciński may want to just follow tenor turned "baritone" Placido Domingo around, as he's slated to replace him for the second time in less than a year. After replacing him this summer at the Salzburg Festival, he's now jumping in for him as the Count di Luna in Berlin.
Domingo's foray into the baritone range has been met with a mixed critical reaction and has caused many in the music industry to question whether this change of fach should continue.
Artur Ruciński sings of Mieczysław Karłowicz songs:
Ruciński is a formidable baritone talent in his own right. He made his debut at the National Opera in Warsaw in 2002 and was launched to stardom in 2010 when he sang Eugene Onegin in Berlin with Daniel Barenboim.
In 2013, he made his Covent Garden debut as Germont in Verdi’s La traviata, a role he's currently performing in Berlin. Upcoming roles include Ashton in Lucia in Hamburg and Zurich, Don Giovanni in Paris and his Metropolitan Opera debut as Sharpless in Puccini's Madama Butterfly in 2016.
The
singer with the most roles in the history of opera has dropped one from
his baritone register. Placido Domingo has pulled out of Il Trovatore
in Berlin, La Scala and this summer’s Salzburg Festival, saying he can’t
manage Count Luna again.
Salzburg has replaced him with Artur Ruciński, who stood in for Domingo last summer.

I'd go and hear Ruciński rather than Domingo-the"baritone" any day.
