Vitas ( he was born 19 February 1981, Daugavpils, Latvian SSR), is a Russian pop singer, composer, actor, and fashion designer.
This song is the "Il dolce suono" ("The Sweet Sound") is an aria taken from Act III scene 1, Lucia di Lammermoor by Gaetano Donizetti.


He is most commonly known by his shortened first name, Vitas, or Витас in Russian.

His has a vocal range that spans five octaves.

VITAS is one of the few male singers to regularly use the whistle register — the highest register of the human voice. The vocal sound was named such because it resembles the intensity and pitch of a whistle.

Musicians refer to the whistle register as the dolphin vocal sound, because it sounds like the high pitch of the sea animal.

He is said to be able to reach the second key from the right.


Much of his music is straightforward pop influenced by techno, and occasionally classical opera.

He has received much of his fame through Russian television and is planning to sign to entertainment labels in countries such as China, Korea, and Japan in order to expand to those markets. Vitas' 2000 video "Opera #2" has been forwarded frequently via the Internet, which accounts for much of his worldwide recognition.

  • I don't know what is the lowest note that he can sing, but he can sing both low and high, so he is not considered the so called castrato but a counter tenor voice. The highest note he can sing said to be the second key - from the right of course - on the piano which is the note B7. I just favorited a video, you will find it in my favorites. It's about the current world record holder who demonstrates a 7 octave range a male singer, Adam Lopez. Whistle tone! Check that out if you'd like.
