I guess I would never learn this tongue breaking text in this hell tempo tarantella haha. Let Mike alone, he is so spectacular in this rep ))) BTW I'm going to listen to him in Idomeneo and Norma in Aix this July. I've got tickets already. And I hope he will not forget his role)) Oh, many tenors forget lyrics even in such famous and much more technically simple pieces as Duca. For example I've listened to recent La Scala's Rigoletto and Pretti forgot his text, though he performed Duca million times. It happens XD
What I like about Michael Spyres is that he is a natural barytone, like me, but he tries to sing high notes, like me. Except he nails it every time, unlike me.
