Ilker Arcayürek (Tenor)
Born: 1984, İstanbul
Nationality: Turkish
Born in Istanbul, Arcayürek grew up in Vienna and became an Austrian national in his twenties. Though he sang in childrens’ choirs from a young age and became a member of the Arnold Schoenberg Choir as an adult, he only began taking voice lessons at the age of 23, after Claudio Abbado cast him as First Prisoner in Fidelio; the production toured extensively throughout Europe and kickstarted his decision to become a professional singer. He went on to train at the Zurich Opera Studio, and made his mainstage debut there as Ferrando in Così fan tutte in 2013; in 2015 he took part in Cardiff Singer of the World, and shortly afterwards joined the Staatstheater Nürnberg, where his roles have included Rodolfo, Idomeneo, Nadir, Don Ottavio and Monteverdi’s Ulisse.
