What are you listening to?

We all have different tastes in music.

This performance by Luciano Pavoratti of "I Pagliacci" is a classic ...as is the performance by Mario Lanza.
If could sing this, I would probably drop dead at the end of my performance.

Note that both Luciano Pavoratti & Mario Lanza are both dead...perhaps because of "I Pagliacci".

I hope you appreciate the tremendous effort, training, vocal range, and huge voice it takes to sing this.

Not opera, but an operatic voice. Dianne van Giersbergen has fronted a couple different bands but is now releasing solo work under her first name. The latest has her joined by Arjen Lucassen, a guitarist, producer, and songwriter whose myriad projects have featured Dianne's voice on occasion.

She has a great voice. Maybe she should consider migrating into opera...but opera takes a lot of training.
