KS Tomasz Konieczny, in demand internationally between the New York Metropolitan Opera, the Bayreuth and Salzburg Festivals and La Scala in Milan, has extremely close ties to the Vienna State Opera: he has performed to great acclaim around 200 times at the Haus am Ring, including as Wotan, Mandryka, Jochanaan, Scarpia and Barak. In March, Tomasz Konieczny gives a solo concert in which he performs songs and arias by Richard Wagner, Mykola Lysenko, Stanisław Moniuszko, Modest Mussorgski and Henryk Czyż.
