The renowned Czech opera singer Adam Plachetka celebrates his 40th birthday this weekend. The popular bass-baritone is the only Czech artist to have performed at the Metropolitan Opera in New York before the age of 30. He has been a member of the Vienna State Opera for nearly 15 years and has appeared on leading opera stages in New York, Vienna, London, Milan, and beyond. To mark the occasion, we’ll be listening to a selection from his 2015 album Arias, recorded with the Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra.
