Listen "Classical Performance: Michael Belle of the SF Opera Chorus w/ guest host Carolyn Tyler"
Episode Synopsis
Michael Belle is a Tenor with the coveted San Francisco Opera Chorus. Starting with a trade for free voice lessons, Michael was drawn to the artistic life of a classical musician. From singing the chorus in Lyric Opera of Chicago’s Porgy and Bess to performing leads in productions across New England, Michael’s career only bloomed until landing a spot in the world famous San Francisco Opera Chorus in 2009.
Michael’s time at the San Francisco Opera has been one of much change. The traditionally elite European Opera culture has begun to dwindle, making way for a more ethnically and musically diverse one. As such, he’s gotten to sing in ethnically diverse casts and works by non-European composers. Michael is proud to help usher this new era for classical music.
