The vocal resources available to this man are stunning - how the hell can he sing so magnificently while dancing and acting the impossible choreography is a mystery - and he does it all with such delight! 😊

I had the honour of attending the performance on 22nd and Mr. Spyres was the epitome of vocal perfection even under such uncomfortable and ridiculous stage conditions. This is one of Michael's best performances, his aria Come to my arms was especially divine, OMG he was so sublime. He is really a god. He should reign in baroque opera.

I attended on the 18th and I think that it was the best performance ever in my long history as an opera lover. The whole cast was brilliant.

I hope to see and of course hear Michael in this production at the Met next year as it was just announced as the Met next season premiere. So upset I missed this one in Munich.

BRAVISSIMO!!! 🙌🎶😊💪

Wonderful. I checked the cast of this production. Several singers in the cast are also talented in acting. I'm just jealous that I didn't see the whole show.

Magnifique !

Merveilleux Michael SPYRES. Une voix incroyable, comédien et danseur...

I saw this opera in Seattle a few years ago and really enjoyed it. This clip was absolutely marvelous, both the singing and the dancing.

Il est tout simplement...fantastique! 😮

Amazing👏🏻

❤😂❤😂❤😂❤😊 J'attendais vraiment cette vidéo avec impatience!

Incredible!!! Michae Spyres is not only a vocal athlete but a physical one too, it would appear!! ❤️

Michael Spyres est vraiment fantastique !! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Il a une voix superbe,un vrai don de comédien et il nous avait caché qu'il dansait bien !! 😂 Y a t il quelque chose qu'il ne sache pas faire ???

Una verdadera payasada. Muy bien cantado por Spyeres.El regisseur que vaya a vender pochoclo en los cines.!

Unless he takes serious rest of his voice after such a performance , I.e. three days of total silence these kind of antics will take its toll. Vocal cords are not indestructible

Most tenors have a hunky build.

Whoops I meant chunky build.

Is there something Spyres cannot do?

Spyres sounds breathy, spread, hollow, toneless. Also, for a director to make a singer move, dance and jerk around through a difficult number can only contribute to the kind of singing heard here.

Spyres doesn't have to pander this way...just sing...Coloratura should be better..just saying.

You should tell that to the director. I can't imagine any other tenor being able to sing so well under such terrible conditions and also having such an inexhaustible supply of self-irony and dignity.

He’s the leading singer in the world right now. He has a repertoire that spans from Handel to Wagner and flips seamlessly between the technical demands of the different repertoire. Nobody else comes close.

Horror staging! Leave Händel alone! Spyres sounds like a goat.🤬

@@operazine The commenter did not mean “not to perform Händel” and you know it. What he or she meant is performing Händel more respectfully or similar. And he or she is right in declaring that Spyres sounds like a goat here. There is freedom of expression and of opinion which your authoritarian inclinations refuse to accept.
