BIOGRAPHY
‘The writer cannot remember such a promising ensemble baritone: an extraordinarily rich-sounding, exceptionally beautiful voice, reminiscent of Thomas Hampson's colour in the upper register’
Martin Gasser | Kronen Zeitung | 6 October 2024
‘The surprise of the evening, however, was new ensemble member Nikita Ivasechko as Wolfram von Eschenbach. He steered his baritone, endowed with immense colourfulness, through the cliffs of this role with astonishing ease.’
Michaela Reichart | Kronen Zeitung | 6 October 2024
Ukrainian baritone Nikita Ivasechko was born in St. Petersburg and studied at the Glier Kyiv Institute of Music with Prof. Vitaliy Gmudenko and Prof. Tamara Koval, at the Hochschule für Musik und Tanz Köln with Prof. Mario Hoff, and the Hochschule für Musik Detmold with KS Prof. Mario Zeffiri.
While still studying, he received his first invitations to the Landestheater Detmold as Count Almaviva in Mozart's Le nozze di Figaro and, with the same role, to the Goetheanum in Dornach, in a production directed by Jasmin Solfaghari and filmed by Pamy GmbH Media Production.
At the 2022 Opening Gala Concert of the Jurmala Festival in Riga, Nikita Ivasechko sang a selection of opera arias by Bellini, Bizet and Verdi with the Jurmala Festival Orchestra conducted by Mārtiņš Ozoliņš. Together with the soprano Maria Nazarova and accompanied by the Italian conductor Michele Gamba, he further appeared in a recital concert in Milan, featuring excerpts from Mozart's Le nozze di Figaro, Don Giovanni and Verdi's Don Carlo.
Nikita was awarded first prize in the 2021 edition of the Concorso Lirico Internazionale di Portofino under the jury chairmanship of Dominique Meyer, and second prize at the Belvedere Singing Competition 2022.
In the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 seasons, Nikita Ivasechko was a member of the Vienna State Opera’s young artists programme, where he performed roles such as Fiorello in Rossini's Il Barbiere di Siviglia, José Castro in Puccini’s La fanciulla del West, Jäger in Dvořák’s Rusalka and Leuthold in Rossini’s Guillaume Tell. Since the beginning of the 2024-2025 season, Nikita Ivasechko has been an ensemble member of the Graz Opera, where he was heard in new productions of Wagner's Tannhäuser as Wolfram von Eschenbach, Mozart's Così fan tutte as Guglielmo and Britten's A Midsummer Night's Dream as Demetrius. In the current season, he will perform there in Verdi's Rigoletto, in Elena Kats-Chernin's family musical Snow White and the 77 Dwarfs, and as Pollux in Rameau's Castor et Pollux under the direction of Bernhard Forck.
Nikita Ivasechko made his debut at the Bregenz Festival in 2025 as Thésée in George Enescu's Oedipe. He was a former scholarship holder of the Czerwenka Private Foundation.
