Péter Kálmán

The Hungarian bass-baritone Péter Kálmán performs a broad repertoire that spans buffo and character roles, ranging from Mozart to Wagner, Strauss, and Bartók. He is a regular member of the Hungarian State Opera, where he recently appeared as Verdi’s Falstaff and as Méphistophélès in Gounod’s Faust. He also collaborates closely with Cecilia Bartoli, who engaged him for performances of Handel’s Alcina and Mozart’s La clemenza di Tito in Monaco during the 2024-25 season. Kálmán has appeared at the Théâtre Royal de la Monnaie in Brussels, the Glyndebourne Festival, the Salzburg Festival, Zurich Opera, Dresden’s Semperoper, and the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris. In the past season, he made his debut at London’s Royal Opera House as Bartolo in Mozart’s Le nozze di Figaro and also appeared at New York’s Metropolitan Opera for the first time as Bartolo in Rossini’s Il barbiere di Siviglia. This fall, he returns to the Met to perform in Donizetti’s La Fille du Régiment.
