Great great great interviewer. Spyres is, as always, well informed and hits the nail straight on the head.

I'd just not concur with the idea that any and every Rossinian voice will automatically be able to sing Wagner since there is sometimes a difference in nature, attitude and emission which is lighter in Rossini than in Wagner.

This interview was an entire semester of grad school - maybe even better. I've battled back and forth with teachers my entire life - "She's a mezzo!" "She's a soprano!" - to the point of frustration. Michael's clarity of understanding - and the fact that he's forged a successful career - gives me hope.

Don Adriano, thank you for sharing this! I as a former elite athlete understand so much that Michael Spyres is speaking about. As a swimmer, I understand breathing, I realise this everyday. Yes, your brain under certain stressful situations - we become conditioned by what we focus on.

So fascinating and exciting interview with such an intelligent, inspiring and truly thrilling artist! Thank Michael and La Scena Musicale! And one of the most precious things about this wonderful interview is that Michael at last has announced his hew album 'Contra tenor' which will be released next February. And in two years will be released his Wagner's lieder album. Very best wishes Michael in all what you do. Looking forward to new albums and all possible recordings which will preserve this amazing voice! Keep Opera Art live, Mr. Spyres!
