Miles Mykkanen

The career of exuberant Finnish-American tenor Miles Mykkanen was launched with a national win of the Metropolitan Opera Laffont Competition in 2019. He has since impressed with a series of important debuts on the world’s major stages, including the Metropolitan Opera, Bayerische Staatsoper, Canadian Opera Company, and Royal Opera House.

In a pivotal 2025–26 season, Mykkanen opens the Metropolitan Opera’s season in Mason Bates’s The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay. He returns to the Met later this season for Kaija Saariaho’s Innocence.

Elsewhere, Mykkanen appears in Richard Strauss’s Daphne at Seattle Opera and The Magic Flute at Los Angeles Opera. He also returns to The Cleveland Orchestra for Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony and sings Handel’s Messiah with Chicago’s Music of the Baroque. In addition, he will perform with piano duo Lucas and Arthur Jussen at the Maastricht Festival, and at The Juilliard School’s annual Alice Tully Vocal Recital at Carnegie’s Weill Recital Hall.
