He made his operatic debut in 2002 with the Ithaca Opera Company, and his Canadian professional debut in 2007 with the Burnaby Lyric Opera. He has performed with the Vancouver Opera, the Vancouver Bach Choir, the Santa Fe Opera, Minnesota Opera and the Duluth Festival Opera. Michael was a member of the 2007-08 Vancouver Opera in Schools touring ensemble with whom he sang 138 performances of Figaro in Rossini’s IL BARBIERE DI SIVIGLIA. He has participated in artist development programs such as the Santa Fe Opera Apprentice program, the Minnesota Opera Resident Artist Program, and the Vancouver Opera Young Artist Coaching Intensive. He sang the role of Lord Cecil in MARIA STUARDA for Minnesota Opera’s main stage season in 2010-2011 and was recently singled out in the New York Times for his ‘standout performance as the shepherd Leuthold’ in Caramoor’s GUILLAUME TELL by Rossini. The Toronto resident looks forward to Fiorello in IL BARBIERE DE SIVIGLIA for Vancouver Opera’s 2011-1012 season, where he will also be featured in ROMEO ET JULIETTE. January 2012
