@dolchev1 Well, I have a video posted here, taken years ago in Busseto, when he was younger, and he did not sound very well. In fact, he was always uneven and certainly not on par with the best; like many other singers who possess exceptional looks, he has been obviously engaged more due to that than to the actual quality of his singing, and I"ve heard him really not so well. This is why a surprise! yet his part here is very small, would be interesting to hear a longer aria...
How wonderful to see this! I was there but on 2 June 2011, and Endrih Wottrich was singing Samson. I am surprised to hear Jose Cura singing so well recently! Vesselina Kasarova was superb, although the production was so bizarre, in Paris Commune time - why? No reason...

It's very strange to read this - Jose Cura sang so well lately ... He sings that bad? Cura in excellent vocal form !
