The great tenor Rolando Villazon takes us inside the world of the sexiest and most risky of all operatic voices. It's a journey which includes some of the great names of the past, such as Caruso and Lanza, and some of the brightest stars performing today, like Domingo, Alagna and Florez. We hear how they tackle their most famous roles and what the risks and rewards are.

Alguien me puede sacar de la duda si alguna vez Pava interpretó a Calaf en Turandot? Yo entendía que no, pero en este video parece que lo hace, por su vestuario y la escenografía.

@andriv123, Pavarotti si que cantó Calaf, en pocas ocasiones, en San Francisco y New York. Puedes encontrar más información sobre ello si buscas "Nessun dorma" en la wikipedia (aquí no se pueden poner enlaces)

uff.. sinceramente.. este documental es uno de los mejores que eh visto.. Jonas Kaufmann.. es un gran Tenor Dramatico o quizas lirico.. SOLO ESPERO QUE SE SIGAN PUBLICANDO ESTA CLASE DE GRABACIONES.. para nosotros los amantes de la Opera..

[tanpeke]

para mi como Alfredo Kraus e Iván Kozlovski no hay

how can people think opera is for old guys i rather lisent to this to J-z over and over this are real artists

[TheU2BigO]

@spgtenor thank you!

[spgtenor]

@TheU2BigO - It's La Boheme. Rodolfo says "Non sono in vena" which means, " I'm not in the mood" (he's a writer, and can't feel the inspiration) and then there's a knock at the door. This is when he sings Che Gelida Manina to Mimi. Hope that helps.

Pavoratti was one like the male callas...so much emotion in his voice!

it is interesting to hear kaufmans irish accent.

some tenors sing with the same tonal aspects as the speaking voice and some make something ??? with the operatic singing voice. nice "toi".

From the first note Kaufmann sounds like a superb Heldentenor. Not a surprise he did it big time singing Siegmund at Met this year (2011).
