Founder of the Opera Camerata of Washington, Micaele Sparacino was an instigator of operatic activity across the US.
According to a colleague, he was found by a friend who went by for a wellness check after not hearing from him for several days.
Jennifer Ann Wilson writes: ‘Micaele was a gifted tenor and conductor who was an authority on Italian Bel Canto repertoire. Other maestri from around the world consulted with him about the rarities he brought back to the stage. He studied at CUA and sang with Washington National Opera and San Francisco Opera, among others. God Bless Him. May he rest in peace.’
