Miles Mykkanen has come a long way since his musical theater dreams shifted to opera at Juilliard. Now 34, he’s just opened the Metropolitan Opera season in “The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay.” The opera, based on Michael Chabon’s novel, features Mykkanen as Sammy Clay, a Jewish kid in WWII-era Brooklyn. He’ll also return in the spring for “Innocence” by Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho. Mykkanen, who grew up in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, still calls it home and runs an arts festival there. Despite his success, he enjoys returning to his roots and staying with his parents
