The military service of Mikhail Kotlyarov was twice: in the Krasnoznamyonnii singing and dancing ensemble of the Soviet Army led by S. A. Alexandrov and in the song and dance ensemble of the air defense forces. After he finished service, Mikhail worked in a children's musical theater.
In 2005 with the academic Russian chorus in the name of A.V. Sveshnikov and the Big Symphonic orchestra Mikhail Kotlyarov recorded arias of J. Rossini. And after that he made an unforgettable performance in the Italian city of Florence.
The next important step in the work of the musician was a joint project with the American musician and producer Walter Afanasieff.
