The opera magazine Opernwelt has named American tenor Michael Spyres its “Singer of the Year”. The Bayreuth Festival extends its warmest congratulations on this well-deserved honour.
Michael Spyres made his Bayreuth Festival debut in 2024 as Siegmund in Richard Wagner’s Die Walküre. He returned in 2025 to reprise the role and also appeared as Walther von Stolzing in Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg.
Alongside his outstanding artistic talent, we particularly value his warm and friendly nature, his down-to-earth manner and his consummate professionalism.
In 2027, Michael Spyres will return to Bayreuth to take on the title role in the new production of Richard Wagner’s Lohengrin. We very much look forward to welcoming him back to the Green Hill.
