Canadian countertenor Michael Taylor has garnered praise across Europe and North America for performances of leading roles in operas from the baroque period to the modern era; recently he appeared as Tolomeo in Handel's “Giulio Cesare” in Portugal and as Oberon in Britten's “A Midsummernight's Dream” in England to celebrate the composer's centenary year. Michael is also highly sought-after in concert and oratorio, and in 2012 he sang his Lincoln Center debut in New York as a soloist in Handel's “Messiah” with the Grammy-Nominated Trinity Choir.
