"Wrong site?  "
Actually, for me it always has been and probably always will be Luciano Pavarotti. Distinct, unique and the epitomy of Italian (and other) opera.
One of my favourite topics.. and one of our loveliest experiences was in July last year... sitting in a hot tub with a lovely sexy couple, having a drink with amazing opera in the background.. It was unforgettable and sexy.. even if one was not an opera fan.... |

That would be Montserrat Caballe
I like the voice of Kiri Te Kanawa and Hayley Westenra is both very pretty and very talented.

Often so called classical music becomes popular through being used in a commercial.. I am thinking of British Airways, Baileys, John Lewis etc... |

Bryn Terfel
Felicity Palmer
Christine Brewer
Gerald Finley
Toresten Kerl
Dame Kiri
Simon Keenlyside.
Tho it does help that Mrs R sings in a very serious choir. There really, REALLY is a difference between proper Opera singers and the famous ones like Bocelli and Jenkins. In the same way as David Coverdale, Robert Plant and Rob Halford can sing the socks off McFly, JLS etc. That Pop star to Opera star thing was a case in point, only Marcella Detroit could sing in tune. Car crash tv in this household lol. In fairness SuBo can sing quite well. |

Funny you should say that, Bocelli and Jenkins are actually not my favs either but purely basing this on their voices...
Just personal taste I guess.. |

Yes, both Bocelli and Jenkins have done this.. brought music to the masses and that in itself is great. Classical music and opera etc should be available to anybody... not just be associated with upper middle class snobbery... |

It's great that they and Mylene Klass etc have brought it to the masses and made it less elitist. I'd never been to the Opera til Mrs R took me. It's great theatre, and very reminiscent of a great rock band like AC/DC, Led Zeppelin or Thin Lizzy. Now I love seeing her orchestra and chorus at full tilt doing Verdi's Dies Irae,after singing the Requiem so quietly you can barely hear them and yet still projecting to the back of the concert hall. We forget that Opera was the equivalent of soaps or the X Factor back in the day.
The problem for the serious musicians is it dilutes all their years of hard work and study to hone their technique when a mobile phone salesman makes a mint out of an (at best) mediocre voice, but a good story. That's why it is elitist. No doubt serious acTORS would say the same thing about the stage and the telly. |

Absolutely.. what a great point to make. It brings it all home, who knows what people will say about Freddie Mercury and Pink Floyd in years to come...

Well is she the one that wears the floor to ceiling curtains and floats onto the stage like a battleship fog horn in full voice?
Must admit to having a perverse liking for the music of some of the ring cycle.
(Really love Wakeman’s, ride of the valkri at the end of the “Journey to the centre of the Earth)

Nobody has mentioned Lesley Garrett. My best memory is her with Pauline Quirke and Linda Robson putting on a concert at a stately home. PQ has actually got a bit of a voice on her and she could probably have made as an opera singer too if she had persued it! |

oh i hate Lesley frigging Garrett always bursting into song whenever she is being interviewed etc, if people wanted to hear her sing they would book her to sing lol
Andrea Bocelli has the most lovely voice - am gonna have to look out some CD's now to listen to before bedtime |
