Who is He?

"Ladies and gentlemen, the concert is sold out, so only standing tickets are available." Such a notice has appeared at Pavel Černoch performances frequently in recent years. Hearing this Brno-born tenor is an unforgettable experience. Pavel Černoch’s passion for music began in the children’s choir Kantiléna. After graduating from JAMU, he refined his operatic voice under the guidance of Italian maestro Paolo De Napoli in Florence. He made his stage debut at the Janáček Opera House in The Magic Flute, and from this moment onwards, he has captivated audiences around the world. 

"Smetana’s genius is evident in that, despite hundreds of interpretations, one can still discover new motifs and approaches."

Pavel Černoch
