A broad range of repertoire on leading international stages distinguishes Peter K\u00e1lm\u00e1n as one of the most dynamic bass-baritones before the public today. Highly regarded for his engaging character portrayals in the Italian buffo tradition, he is no less accomplished in the dramatic roles of Bart\u00f3k, Strauss, and Wagner. Collaborations have yielded performances with many of the world\u2019s most prestigious conductors including Alain Altinoglu, Christoph von Dohn\u00e1nyi, \u00c1d\u00e1m Fischer, Valery Gergiev, Nikolaus Harnoncourt, Enrique Mazzola, Nello Santi, Stefan Solt\u00e9sz, Franz Welser-M\u00f6st, and Jaap van Zweden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
