Michael Spyres

Michael Spyres is an American tenor from Missouri, one of the most versatile singers of his generation, whose unusually wide range has led him to describe himself as a ‘baritenor.’ Equally commanding in the high-flying bel canto of Rossini, the heroic French repertoire, and Mozart, he has won acclaim at the world’s major houses for the freedom of his top, the richness of his lower voice, and his stylish musicianship. That breadth and security suit the demanding lyric and dramatic writing Verdi gives the tenor.
