Born in Vienna, baritone Michael Havlicek studied at the city's Conservatory. He made his debut in 2004, taking on the role of Papageno in *Die Zauberflöte*, a part that would become a cornerstone of his repertoire. Over the years, he has performed roles such as Guglielmo in *Così fan tutte* and Boni in *Die Csárdásfürstin*.

In 2012, Havlicek became a member of the ensemble at the Volksoper Vienna, where he expanded his repertoire to include roles such as Morales in *Carmen* and Pappacoda in *Eine Nacht in Venedig*.

He made his debut at the Opéra National de Paris in 2014, portraying the Second Priest in *Die Zauberflöte*, conducted by Philippe Jordan.

Recently, he has remained closely tied to the Volksoper, performing as Masetto in *Don Giovanni*, Paul Aubier in *Der Opernball*, and the Vicomte Cascada in *Die lustige Witwe*—a role he has also performed in Tokyo.

Among his upcoming projects, Havlicek will revisit his beloved roles of Papageno and Boni.
