His genre-defying career has brought him to the stages of Broadway, Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and many more. Michael recently made his Broadway debut in the revival of Sweeney Todd, where he understudied the role of Adolfo Pirelli and performed in the ensemble. Off-Broadway and other notable NYC appearances include The Dead, 1904 with Irish Rep, ¡Figaro! 90210 at the Duke on 42nd Street, and the world premiere of Stonewall with New York City Opera at Jazz at Lincoln Center. Michael has performed regionally at opera houses and theaters across the US, including Opera Theatre of St. Louis, Des Moines Metro Opera, Central City Opera, Florida Grand Opera, Opera Omaha, Virginia Opera, The Princeton Festival, On Site Opera, Syracuse Opera, and more.
