Roberto Alagna & Bryn Terfel "Au fond du temple saint"

Dear Somewiseguy84

Singers come in all shapes and sizes. Joan Sutherland is large and Sumi Jo is tiny. There are small Baritones and large Tenors. Many pro-baritones can sing top C, only their timbre sounds more comfortable for baritone roles.

Operatic singing stretches human voice capability .. this in turn allows variety to appear - even more so now as other cultures such as Orientals are entering into the ring of cheer-vocal expression.

true!!!

I've been watching a lot of versions of this duet and something struck me: the baritone is ALWAYS taller than the tenor. I never really thought about it but it makes sense that if they are taller they would have longer vocal chords, too. Is this a coincidence?

compare celo with violin. smaller instruments make sharper and higher sounds

atomic!!!!

Grande Bizet......

Excellent. Thanks for posting.

Were these angels singing?

ALAGNA !!!

Vocally very beautiful-no doubt-the slight lack of facial expression is a bit annoying, and the comradery is not quite there.....admittedly a concert performance so understandable to a point but physically a little bland.
