Ultimate Opera Quiz for Connoisseurs Part 3

The ultimate Operatic Quiz, for connoisseurs only - Part 3.
The clips are very generous in length, and the singers are *all* very famous - no Achille Braschi or Tenghiz Zaashvili here. All world class superstars (merited or not). Mostly tenors, but with a few other voices thrown in for fun. If you *really* know your operatic voices, please post you answers here, not by PM. Good luck - you need it! :D

Many thanks to F.N.

9. sounds like an Italian singing an Italian aria in its German translation, how stupid is that, it is not even a baritone

10. very bad recording quality, but the tenor sounds like Björling

11. I do not like the tenor.

12. Theo Adam?

13. ?! Björling?

14. kinda nice

15. ... why, really

[saiserieht]

1. Cura, he does Otello atm in my home city. This is dreadful I must say, he used to be great, but now his high voice is messed up and he has developed a wobble.

2. ?

3. ?

4. Melchior before he became a tenor

5. Schmidt, one of my favorites, a bit out of his rep ;-)

6. ?

7. ?

8. Domingo. A bit too much piano for my taste.

[saiserieht]

I can tell that you are a true connoisseur, great ear! Melchior started out as a baritone!

[MaestroAmduscias]

Aspetti un attimo. Il n°11 è molto strano. La pronuncia dei due cantanti è completamente identica. come è possibile, è forse uno scherzo?

Il n° 15: Alagna. ;)

Ciao

[MaestroAmduscias]

Allora proviamo... 1. Come è brutto, come abbaglia. Cura, uno senza cultura, un barbaro. 2. Gobbi nel film di Gallone 3. Merli 4. Melchior (ancora un tenore cantando repertorio da baritono...!) 5. Schmidt 6. Svanholm 7. di Stefano 8. Domingo 9. Accidenti... Gigli - è la colonna sonora d'uno dei suoi films se no mi sbaglio. 10. Bjoerling e la nostra Simionato, come son bravi. 11. Nessuna idea. James King? 12. No sé... 13. Bjoerling molto giovane 14. Rosvaenge? 15. Un pazzo!
