About Andriy Kymach
I was born in the Vinnitsa region of Ukraine and I studied philosophy at the Shevchenko Ukrainian National University from 2007-2010. I got interested in music rather late, when I was singing in the church choir as an amateur. It was my future wife who inspired me to start musical studies. She was studying vocal technique, and told me that my voice had a lot of potential. In 2010, I entered the vocal/choral conducting department at the Kyiv National Music Academy and in September 2016 I joined the young artist programme of the Bolshoi Theatre of Russia. In January 2017 I debuted there, in the role of Don Carlos in Dargomyzhsky’s The Stone Guest.
In October 2018 I made my debut at the Liceu in Barcelona in the role of Sir Riccardo Forth (I puritani). In November I sang Lord Enrico Ashton (Lucia di Lammermoor) in Tenerife, and in January and February this year, I performed the title role of Don Giovanni in Nice and Antibes.
