Baritone Vladislav Sulimsky drew critical acclaim for his searing portrayal of Rogozhin in The Idiot at the Salzburger Festspiele, where the Financial Times called the production “unmissable,” highlighting Sulimsky’s “gut-wrenchingly interwoven” performance as “a kind of Wozzeck - more victim of circumstance than perpetrator.” His visceral presence and vocal authority continue to distinguish him among the most compelling singing actors of his generation.

In the 2026/2027 season, Sulimsky can be heard as Scarpia Tosca for Deutsche Oper Berlin, followed by Rachmaninoff’s The Bells with Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin and the leading role Trittico for Opernhaus Zürich; Gryaznoy The Tsar's Bride for Staatsoper Berlin; also a return to Bayerische Staatsoper as Mazeppa and Tomsky; the latter to be sung in concert with Boston Symphony Orchestra as well.

Future seasons see Sulimsky debut at The Metropolitan Opera, his returns to Salzburg Festspiele, Bayerische Staatsoper, Deutsche Oper Berlin and Opernhaus Zürich.

Recent engagements include the title roles in Nabucco and Mazeppa, Tomsky The Queen of Spades and Enrico Lucia di Lammermoor for the Bayerische Staatsoper; the title role Rigoletto at the Palm Beach Opera, Dunois The Maid of Orleans at the Dutch National Opera, and Scarpia Tosca at the Glyndebourne Festival and Hungarian State Opera. In Summer 2025, he returned to the Salzburg Festival in the title role of Macbeth; he also performed as Basilio La fiamma at the Deutsche Oper Berlin, Malatesta Francesca da Rimini with the Berliner Philharmoniker, Shaklovity Khovanshchina at the Grand Théâtre de Genève, returned to the Staatsoper Berlin as Conte di Luna Il trovatore, made role and house debuts as Iago Otello at the Wiener Staatsoper, and in Luisa Miller at the Glyndebourne Festival. He sang Mazeppa and Tomsky at the Baden-Baden Festival and with the Berliner Philharmoniker under Kirill Petrenko.
