The tenor, born in 1973, began his singing career in 1998 as Lensky in Tchaikovsky's "Eugene Onegin" at the Debrecen Opera in Hungary. That same year he was a prize-winner at the International Singing Competition in Budapest and also a finalist in the 1999 Concorso Lirico Franco Corelli in Ancona. Since then, Attila Fekete, who graduated from the Franz Liszt Academy in Budapest in 2000, has been closely linked with the Hungarian State Opera. He debuted in the USA in 2005, and in June 2006 he sang at Carnegie Hall, New York, in a concert performance of Cherubini's Medea. In the same year he received the Ferenc Liszt Prize in Hungary.
