Michael Sylvester (b. 21 August 1951), lyric spinto operatic tenor, born in Indiana.
==Opera singing career==
Studied with Margaret Harshaw from 1974 until her death in 1997. On October 23, 1994, Sylvester made the decision to perform the through the third act of [[Turandot]] at the [[San Francisco Opera]], despite a rapidly deteriorating vocal condition and the readiness of his understudy to perform in his stead. What was to be the highlight of the evening, [[Nessun Dorma]] was performed in a whisper. The level of attendance in the audedience declined significantly before the cast's Turandot, Eva Marton sang her final note in her final word: "Amor!" Since then, Sylvester has displayed a higher level of professionalism and his talents have shone through until he retired from professional singing in May 2001.
