[ericbach1993]

who was the countertenor singing the Handel?

[teresa59]

@ericbach1993, the countertenor is Christophe Dumaux, (Giulio Cesare - Glyndebourne Opera Festival 2005)

This documentary is filled with some of the greatest tenors we've ever seen and I can't really find one reason why Callejas should be depicted here, especially after that monster performance by Merritt.

[kharlitoz]

I would have chosen a better Alfredo... Calleja lacks of something, i still don't know....

[HeidelbergSoprano]

@kharlitoz I feel the same way Calleja is kinda of boring =/

[Honken]

@kharlitoz

He has a very nasal placement which on top of his caprino vibrato only adds to the amateur sound. I'm not saying he's a bad tenor, just don't get why on earth they put him amongst the greats.

[ezev8logos]

muy bueno el documental, pero no deberían poner La traviata como ejemplo de la voz de tenor porque el rol principal en la traviata es violeta y las partes mas bellas de la opera son para Violeta y Giorgio Germont

[Honken]

Don't understand why the tenor who plays Alfredo got to be in this documentary.

[David45NV1]

@Honken Because he is also under contract with the BBC. This video  is part of their marketing.

[Honken]

@David45NV1

It's a shame how they both are contracted considering the fact that they are horrible in comparison to other singers who don't get as much attention not just in singing, but also acting and looks.

[dudddis]

pastorello sounds more like an aria for countertenor...

[CuteMcBeauty]
