A winner of the 2019 Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions, Miles Mykkanen garners recognition and praise on the world’s concert and operatic stages for his “focused, full-voiced tenor” (New York Times).  Of his performance in the title role of Albert Herring, Opera News reported, “Miles Mykkanen displayed a lovely lyric voice with an appealing honeyed sweetness in the timbre, which he employed with intelligence and humor.”

Miles Mykkanen’s 2024-25 season includes his debut at the Bayerische Staatsoper in Die Tote Stadt led by Lothar Koenigs and a return to The Cleveland Orchestra for staged performances of Jenufa under the baton of Music Director Franz Welser-Möst.  The tenor’s broad artistic range is also showcased in two productions at Dutch National Opera: he bows as Alfred in a new production of Die Fledermaus staged by Barrie Kosky with chief conductor Lorenzo Viotti on the podium, as well as in the world premiere creation of We Are The Lucky Ones by composer Philip Venables and director Ted Huffman conducted by Bassem Akiki. On the concert stage, he joins Music Director Tito Muñoz and the Phoenix Symphony for performances of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony and returns to the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra for performances of Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis with Music Director Nathalie Stutzmann.
