Orlinski, 30, who studied and lived in Manhattan while attending The Juilliard School for the arts, said being in the city as a working performer was a new experience. "I was totally focused on school. I thought: 'I'm in school, this is Juilliard, I have to get the most out of it.' So, I signed up for so many classes that I worked from 8 in the morning to midnight. Non-stop," he said."It's beyond my wildest dreams, the fact that I'm actually employed by such an amazing theater ... and work with conductor Yannick , who is the chief music director," Orlinski added. "It's something incredible.
Orlinski is almost as well-known for his breakdancing, which he began when he was 18, as he is for his singing. "It really combines everything that I love. So, music, freedom and like sort of acrobatic style ... it's another way to express yourself," he said.Reporting by Alicia Powell; Editing by Diane Craft and Peter CooneySubscribe for our daily curated newsletter to receive the latest exclusive Reuters coverage delivered to your inbox.
