About
Internationally acclaimed for his radiant, flexible voice and bold creative range, singer and performer Michael Taylor is equally at home in early music, contemporary opera, experimental theatre, and multimedia performance. Based in Berlin, Michael has performed leading roles across Europe and North America in opera houses, concert halls, and avant-garde productions—from opera and theatre to new music and experimental sound art. Critics have praised his “great virtuosity,” “vocal radiance” and compelling stage presence, noting his ability to bring vivid character and emotional depth to every role. He has collaborated with ensembles and composers working at the intersection of voice, electronics, and theatre, championing work that expands the expressive possibilities of the human voice.
Michael’s versatility extends into recorded work and interdisciplinary projects, with recent performances and releases that explore the edge of operatic technique and narrative expression. His creativity, adaptive vocal technique, and experience in both structured and improvisatory settings make him an ideal fit for roles requiring dynamic storytelling, nuanced vocal color, and a bold interpretive imagination.
With experience in self-produced recording projects, Michael has access to professional recording equipment, studio space and has extensive knowledge of DAWs and audio processing.
