It looked set to be a gala year for Miles Mykkanen. The 29-year-old tenor made his Metropolitan Opera debut as Second Apprentice in the company’s new production of
Wozzeck, but when the run ended on January 22, 2020, lockdown was less than two months away.
I’d seen him twice previously, as a fabulously funny Flute in Robert Carson’s
A Midsummer Night’s Dream at Opera Philadelphia in 2019 and singing Jonathan Dove’s
The End at the Marlboro Festival, the last of three summers he spent in Vermont making music with the likes of Mitsuko Uchida and Jonathan Biss. His clear, penetrating, lyric tenor comes with a winning stage presence, great comic timing, and a real way with words. Mykkanen’s is the kind of voice, you sense, that could develop in all sorts of interesting directions. Like a Wunderlich or a Gedda, he should flourish across a range of repertoire.
