Filip Bandžak, one of the most remarkable baritones of his generation, was born in Pardubice, Czech Republic. His musical career began very early when he moved to Prague. At the age of four he started playing the violin and attended drama classes at the Folk School of Art. In 1992 he became a member of the Prague Philharmonic Children’s Choir. Already by the age of 11, Filip made his first professional appearance on the opera stage by performing in the role of the Page in G. Verdi’s Rigoletto in the Prague’s National Theatre. His debut he made on the stage of the Prague State Opera as Marcello in Puccini´s La Bohème.
