sid You really don't have to be an enthusiastic expert to love this opera. Get a dvd (with subtitles) and just treat yourself to watch it. It is easy to follow, doesn't last more than 90 minutes and is an absolute joy. One great song after another. Truist me. Its the perfect opera for beginners. :)

I remember seeing Kallen in Memphis as Tosca, then she did a private concert at my college nearby. She performed "Art is Calling for Me" as a ridiculously funny encore.

If you don't trust him/her, trust me than. :-)

heh that's cause hampson's a tenor not cool enough to make the switch!

[operaman20]

What great musicians!

[searnold56]

you cant even hear hampson. haha. love it

[LordMgls]

He is kind of between Pavarotti and Gedda in terms of voice, but still nothing very very special.

These things make us question (as well as a lot of people and sometimes I do) if Pavarotti is really what people use to see in him. It is a question of voice quality :-)

[Joeleole]

He sounds like Pavarotti.....

whatever happened to Ballo? i totally remember him in the late 80s and never saw him again.
