Re: I got goosebumps listening to this voice:
[ QUOTE ]
Not a complete shocker though: (from Bath opera house web site) Paul Potts (Don Carlos) is a relative new comer to Grand Opera after an apprenticeship in Gilbert and Sullivan in Bristol.. His claim to fame is his 1999 appearance on Michael Barrymore's My Kind of Music. This was followed by singing for Bath Opera in Turandot as Prince of Persia and Herald. He has since performed with The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and spent three months touring Northern Italy as a soloist, training under top teachers Mario Melani and Svetlana Sidrova. He has been invited back for a concert to be recorded and also for a masterclass with Luciano Pavarotti. Future plans include a summer tour with the RPO. [/ QUOTE ] Disappointing. One of the reasons I found that clip amazing was based on the idea that a complete unknown nobody could sing this wonderful. Seeing all the training he had takes a lot away from that.

[/ QUOTE ] Yeah, but he's not making a living at it. Also, even though it lacked the technical skill, I preferred his version to Pavarotti's. He packs a lot of emotion in his voice.

The audience breaking into random whistling / applause really ruined it for me.

[/ QUOTE ] You are quite welcome. I am actually positively surprised of the response this thread got. Especially given that we are on a poker forum, where opera is not what you would expect struck a cord with the readers.

Re: I got goosebumps listening to this voice:
Thousands of other talented UK amateur opera singers must be kicking themsleves right now. Next series will be an opera fest. Talk about post modern. High culture Opera appearing on a low brow populist show and winning.
