Masterclass Experience: Eduard Ferenczi Gurban Mentored by Renowned Baritone Florian Sempey at Boisettes en Scène

During the prestigious baritone masterclass at Boisettes en Scène, Romanian-Hungarian baritone Eduard Ferenczi Gurban had the extraordinary privilege of refining his craft under the guidance of one of France’s most celebrated baritones, Florian Sempey.

This intensive masterclass provided an immersive artistic environment that went far beyond technical vocal training, creating a unique space for deep musical, dramatic, and personal growth. On this occasion, Eduard also gave his second interview conducted entirely in French, reflecting both his artistic evolution and his ever-deepening connection with the French cultural and operatic scene.

Reflections on the Masterclass Experience

Reflecting on this transformative mentorship and his work with Florian Sempey, Eduard shared his personal insights:

“This masterclass gave me the opportunity to grow not only as a singer and musician, but also as an actor and, ultimately, as an artist.

I also had the privilege of having my second interview conducted in French, an experience in which I felt surprisingly comfortable and confident.

What made this experience particularly meaningful was being taught by someone who shares the same voice fach as I do, and who was able to recognize something of himself in me, both as a singer and as a human being. This connection brought my work to another professional level. We understood each other instinctively, which allowed me to absorb certain techniques, ideas and artistic insights very quickly, and then adapt and integrate them naturally into my own instrument and artistic identity.

It was a truly enriching experience, one that allowed me not only to learn, but to discover new possibilities within myself as an artist.”
