Your Favorite Opera- Singer

[leapyear]

Used to be Charlotte Church, until she ruined her voice and talent with too much smoking and drinking, and an awful turn toward dance/electro-pop music.

Yes, she was classically trained at a young age and sang various arias and aspired to be an operatic singer but she never truly delve into it.

Her career certainly got waylaid resultant from too little discipline (self and governorship) combined with becoming a multi-millionaire overnight. She could have been a Rene FLEMING had she stuck with it.

Beg to disagree, haulthat: Roberto Alagna and Dimitri Hvorostovsky have first-class voices as they've appeared in opera houses throughout the world AND are eminently fuckable! And, for what it's worth, Angela Gheorghiu was married to Alagna, so you have similar tastes!!

However, just saw Brit tenor Alfie Boe on tv plugging his new cd. A hunk with a great voice, smile. Eminently fuckable as well (we'll forgive him the wife and kid).

I am disappointed this thread SEEMS to be about people you would like to fuck, not about their talent as an opera singer. [snip] I just think her voice is amazing [snip] Angela GHEORGHIU

Mike Rowe.

Did you know that he is a professional opera baritone?

Many amazing voices listed in the previous posts, but I don't think anyone has mentioned Robert Merrill. Nice baritone.

In days of yore, Renata Tebaldi. And she knew enough to retire before her voice did.

Very true. She could have had a stellar career. She certainly showed some really nice vocal prowess, before she ruined it all.

I am disappointed this thread SEEMS to be about people you would like to fuck, not about their talent as an opera singer. Since this is the closest place I can find to post some shit like this on LPSG I will say if she was buff and hung ... I would want her in bed too... as is I just think her voice is amazing lol YouTube - Angela GHEORGHIU - Habanera - Carmen - Bizet Angela GHEORGHIU

Good enough, but a better countertenor is David Daniels. A stronger, fuller voice. Close your eyes and you think it's Marilyn Horne...

About eight years ago during NPR's "All Things Considered" they did a story on young South American tenors. I was driving and couldn't stop to write down the names of the three they featured and, later, had trouble looking it up on their web site. Does anyone recall this show and who the singers were? Thanks.

I had a massively hung baritone who sang with Seattle Opera seasons back. Yum. Thought about it when I watched him onstage. I also had another fairly well known tenor who had a fines sized unit. Can't name names. Sorry.

A while back I mentioned David Hobson. Hot guy. Here's the video link:
