Baritone Jiří Rajniš is an extraordinary young singing talent from the Czech Republic. After graduating from the Prague Conservatory and subsequently the prestigious UCLA in Los Angeles, Jiri gave his debut in 2013 as Don Giovanni at Sommeroper Bamberg and joined the ensemble of Landestheater Coburg in 2013/2014; he’s therefore not only the youngest Czech opera singer abroad to incorporate the role of Don Giovanni, but also the youngest Czech baritone in a foreign Festengagement. In 2016/2017, Jiri made his debut at the Prague National Theater as Mule Owner (Die Kluge, Carl Orff), and at the Pilsen National Theater as Eugen Onegin. After Luigi Bassi, who had incorporated Don Giovanni at the opera’s premiere in 1787, Jiri was the youngest interpreter of this role to appear on the stage of the Estates Theatre in Prague in July 2016.
Mr. Rajniš has been a member of the Junge Ensemble at the Semperoper Dresden for the season 2017/2018, where he has sung Schaunard in La Bohème, Morales in Carmen, Fiorello in Barber of Seville, 1. Priester in Magic Flute, Trojanischer Soldat/ Griechischer Führer in Les Troyens, and Marullo in Rigoletto among others.
Further guest engagements: Albert in Werther, Schaunard in La Boheme, the title role of Johnny in Johnny spielt auf, Don Fernando in Fidelio, all at Praha National Opera.
In 2019/2020, he can be seen a.o. as Albert in Werther at National Theater Prague, as well as Conte Luna in Il Trovatore at Divadlo F X Saldy Liberec.
