A 2005 University of Michigan graduate, tenor Michael Fabiano was the first singer to receive major career recognition in the same year with two prestigious prizes: the Richard Tucker Award (for an American singer posed on the edge of a major national or international career) and the Beverly Sills Artist Award (for young singers who have appeared in solo roles at the Metropolitan Opera). His vibrant voice and emotional commitment to every role that he sings brings an intensity to his art that is all too rare in the world of opera today. “A marvel… Fabiano’s sound was so beautiful, and the transition from the bottom to the top of his range so seamless as to proclaim him ‘the’ tenor that we have all been waiting for.” (San Francisco Classical Voice)
