  • Well, he's showing his best... and this is not his voice!

  • It's well sung and looks beautiful. Stains has great physiognomy, his movements are well studied and graceful. You can pause on any moment and the image looks like it's taken from a greek amphora. Representations of ancient heroes were always full of nudity in the course of history of art, and here I see a nice connection to this tone. People who can't see anything but "prics","porn", provocation, and crap like that, only show how shallow they are.

  • If I looked and sang like that I'd own the world, great piece!

  • ο Ηρακλής στον Θερμώδωνα.

    όπερα του Antonio Vivaldi, που ανακαλύφθηκε σχετικά πρόσφατα!

    την εποχή του Βιβάλντι που έκανε πρεμιέρα το έργο, τους ρόλους των γυναικών τραγουδησαν μόνο άντρες castrati !

    Θερμώδων: στη μυθολογία, ποταμός κοντά στη Μαύρη Θάλασσα, στην Τουρκία, όπου πιστευόταν ότι βρισκόταν η πρωτεύουσα των Αμαζόνων.

  • amo i costumi di quest'opera!

  • He's hot.

    But his coloratura was poor as hell!

    XD

    But hey, his butt more than makes up for his lack of coloratura!

    XD

  • I prefer Villazon singing this but my mind shies away from the idea of the costume......

  • Non capisco perche' solo il tenore deve essere nudo, non e' giusto! :// FUCK YOU ALL, BLOODY BASTARDS GAY DIRECTORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • well good cock

  • I think this is well done. Nudity was common among the ancient Greeks, particularly among men who were soldiers, athletes, students. There is nothing salacious or remotely pornographic about this. Hercules was usually depicted in art as naked, carrying his lion skin cloak. Clearly, Hercules is being dressed by his men for battle. Mr. Stains is in great shape and is a handsome man. Why not be naked?

    The voice is fine. The technique gets him through this difficult piece.

  • oh no he´s naked!!!! get the fuck over it, its just a naked body

  • ohai penis
