He is comfortable on stage also as an opera singer and a concert singer. In operatic repertory he performed Mozart and Donizetti roles, such as Bartolo and Antonio in Le Nozze di Figaro at the Amadeus Festival of Bjelovar and with the Lyric Theather of Crete, and Malatesta in Don Pasquale as part of a stage project with the University of Pécs in the Kodály Center of Pécs. Recently he has sung the role of Bluebeard in a production of the Maastricht Toneelacademie in the opera of Béla Bartók Bluebeard's Castle. He participated in several performances of oratorical compositions as a soloist, such as the Misa criolla by Ariel Ramirez and various compositions by Johann Sebastian Bach and Heinrich Schütz. His intelligence and high knowledge of languages gives him a big potential in the Lied repertory too.

He has sung in the University Choir of Pécs with whom he participated in two successful tours in the USA and in China where he sang also in solo.

He worked on masterclasses with renowned teachers such as Andrea Rost, Kriszitán Cser, Johannes Held, Alain Buet, István Horváth, Ágnes Kovács, Dr. Váradi Marianna and István Kovácsházi. He is a regular visitor of the masterclasses of the Early Music Days of Vác, one of the biggest early music festivals of Hungary where he received coachings on German and French baroque music from György Vashegyi, Fabien Armengaud and Benoît Dratwicki.
He started his singing studies in Hungary with the early music specialist Éva Lax and then pursued the perfectioning of his vocal technique with Katalin Károlyi at the Music Faculty of the University of Pécs. Now he is studying with Axel Everaert in the Conservatorium Maastricht.
His passion for music and curiosity bring him to new and new challenges that he would like to share with his audiences.
