Michael Spyres. Il Pomo d’Oro Tenore assoluto

Date & Time
Sat, Apr 5, 2025, 19:30
Michael Spyres's golden voice effortlessly produces exquisite high notes, explores rich depths, and utilizes the countless timbres of his three-octave range in a spectacular baroque bravura program. His virtuosity rivals that of the castrati, with daring leaps and coloraturas, yet also celebrates lyrical moments and features treasures by forgotten masters like Gaetano Latilla and Antonio Mazzoni. Il Pomo d’Oro joins Spyres on this fiery vocal journey, contributing instrumental gems. An artist talk with Anselm Cybinski follows at the festival center.
