Paulina Gocałek

Paulina Gocałek is an outstanding Polish soprano whose vocal artistry, musical sensitivity, and stage charisma have earned her the admiration of audiences and critics alike. A graduate with distinction from the Grażyna and Kiejstut Bacewicz Academy of Music in Łódź, she is currently pursuing opera and solo singing studies at the Fryderyk Chopin University of Music in Warsaw under the guidance of the distinguished Professor Ewa Iżykowska-Lipińska, continuously developing her craft under the tutelage of eminent masters.

She has refined her skills at prestigious masterclasses, working with such renowned figures of the music world as Mariusz Kwiecień, Urszula Kryger, Martina Janková, and Patrick Fournillier. Her exceptional voice and interpretations have brought her recognition at leading competitions – including 2nd Prize at the International Vocal Competition Viva Calisia, 3rd Prize at the Jan Kiepura Competition in Krynica-Zdrój, and the Marcelina Sembrich-Kochańska Foundation Award for the best coloratura soprano.

On stage, she captivates both in opera and concert repertoire. She has performed roles such as Pamina in Mozart’s The Magic Flute Piccolo (Warsaw Chamber Opera) and Lauretta in Puccini’s Gianni Schicchi (Teatr Wielki – Polish National Opera). Her interpretation of the soprano part in Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana at the Teatr Wielki in Łódź was met with enthusiastic acclaim. She also collaborates with leading orchestras in Poland, including the Podkarpacka Philharmonic and the Concert Orchestra of the Representative Artistic Ensemble of the Polish Army.

Paulina Gocałek’s repertoire encompasses the great works of Mozart, Puccini, Verdi, Donizetti, Lehár, and Kálmán, as well as art songs by Debussy, Schubert, Rachmaninoff, Moniuszko, and Różycki. Her interpretations—radiant, technically precise, and emotionally profound—can also be enjoyed on her YouTube channel.
