He also performed at the Shostakovich Festival 2025 in Leipzig’s Gewandhaus.

A particular success was his portrayal of Prince Myshkin in Weinberg’s The Idiot under Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla at the Salzburg Festival 2024.

In the 2025/26 season, his engagements include Falstaff at La Monnaie in Brussels; Don Giovanni, Dialogues des Carmélites, and Eugene Onegin at the Vienna State Opera; Die Zauberflöte at the Berlin State Opera; Eugene Onegin at the Paris Opéra; Iolanta at the Opéra de Rouen; and Così fan tutte at the Zurich Opera House.
