L'elisir Contest - Norah Amsellem - Roberto Aronica

The first part this contest will be the act I duet from L'elisir D'amore. I choose this for all of the obvious reasons, it's just great music! In the hands of world class singers, such as I have provided, this music is just magical. Since this is a duet, there are some overlaps of singers, think of it as a tribute to their art. In the spirit of a providing a variety of singers I am also providing a few clips from the later duet as an added bonus. Once again a score of 1-5 for singing/characterization:

I dont want to be rude but Amsellem has a nice pair too

Wow, Aronica has changed too... interesting to hear some of these singers on YouTube that I've heard live. This is the fist I've heard Amsellem. I can see why someone I know likes her, though I don't find her appropriate for this role. 3.5/3.5
