About Mikhail

Hailed as “phenomenal” (The Harvard Crimson), “impressively epic (schwäbische.de), and praised for his “wine-dark bass” (The Boston Globe), bass-baritone Mikhail Smigelski enjoys a versatile career spanning various genres, including opera, oratorio, early music, musical theater, and contemporary music. Born in St. Petersburg, Russia, Mikhail has performed on some of the world's most prestigious stages, including Carnegie Hall, the Saint Petersburg and Moscow Philharmonias, Berliner Philharmonie, and Kölner Philharmonie. He has also collaborated with renowned European and American opera companies, such as Saint Petersburg Chamber Opera, Theater Aachen, Theater Solingen, Theater Leverkusen, Miami Lyric Opera, The Cleveland Opera, Opera in the Heights, among others. Dr. Smigelski’s performance portfolio features over 30 roles in classical and contemporary operas as well as other stage works. As a passionate advocate for contemporary classical music, Smigelski participated in numerous festivals including New York Ferus Festival and the Cohen New Works Festival, and performed in several world and U.S. premieres with collectives such as East Coast Contemporary Ensemble, Density 512, and Rhapsode Guild. Dr. Smigelski began his musical studies at the Rimsky-Korsakov Conservatory in Saint Petersburg, Russia, where he earned a Bachelor of Music degree in vocal performance. Subsequently, he completed a Master of Music degree in opera performance at Hochschule für Musik und Tanz in Cologne, Germany. After relocating to the United States, he obtained a Master of Music degree in choral conducting at Sam Houston State University and a Doctor of Musical Arts degree in opera performance at the University of Texas at Austin. In addition to his performance career, Dr. Smigelski serves as a Lecturer in Voice at The University of Texas at Austin, a Music Director at the Houston-based musical theater company Opera Leggera, a President of the Greater Houston chapter of National Association of Teachers of Singing, and a founder and director of the recording label Lagoda Records

About the lesson

In my classical voice studio, I advocate the bel canto principles of the Italian method of singing along with most recent fact-based information coming from voice science, technology, and medicine. I believe that discovering vocal freedom is a lifelong process that is developed through conscious body mapping, heightened awareness, and the free flow of air through a fully
coordinated instrument.
Finding physical sensations and learning how to listen yourself “from the outside” are the necessary skills
to build vocal technique. Clarity of vowels, consistency in tone quality from top to bottom, musically executed phrases, messa di voce, legato, vocal agility and overall freedom of the larynx and body are the technical goals in my voice studio. These goals provide a solid foundation for vowel placement, breath control, and phrasing not only for classical genre, but also for musical theatre. After learning the basics, my students who are interested in musical theatre and CCM can safely execute more genre-appropriate techniques, such as belting, straight tone, edgy
onsets, divergent shape of the vocal tract, slightly raised larynx, and others.
