Polish tenor Krzysztof Knapczyk is quickly making a name for himself as a versatile and innovative artist. Known for blending classical opera with pop and musical theater, Knapczyk is currently captivating audiences worldwide with his distinct style. His recent performance at Birdland in New York showcased his talent, where he gave a stunning rendition of Sinatra’s “My Way,” accompanied by the legendary Billy Stritch on piano, Steve Doyle on bass, and Daniel Glass on percussion.

Knapczyk’s unique approach to music is at the heart of his latest project, **”Pop Opera – From Opera to Musical”**, a concert tour that takes audiences on a musical journey, blending timeless opera arias with hit songs from both Polish and American musicals.

“I’ve always wanted to make opera more accessible, to break the boundaries between classical and contemporary music,” Knapczyk explains. “With the Pop Opera tour, I’m bringing together the grandeur of opera and the energy of musicals, offering something truly special for audiences of all ages.”

The Pop Opera concert tour will begin in Poland, featuring world-class soloists from leading musical theaters and operas, under the musical direction of Dr. Bogna Dulińska. The repertoire includes beloved pieces like “Nessun Dorma” from *Turandot*, “La donna è mobile” from *Rigoletto*, as well as musical hits like “On My Own” from *Les Misérables* and Sinatra’s “My Way.”

Knapczyk, who has performed in countries such as Greece, Germany, and the U.S., aims to expand the Pop Opera project to American and international audiences. “Performing in New York was a huge step for me,” he says. “Now, I want to bring this concept to stages all over the world—bridging the gap between opera, pop, and musicals in a fresh and exciting way.”
