For Ladybirder

[emmie]

he's wondeful i know... Just for you

[emmie]

the only one i love singing this is Placido Domingo, but he's on a par, which is fab

[emmie]

oh wow.

[ladybirder]

Thanks Em. I prefer him to Placido even at his best and JC has overtaken my more recent favourite Jonas Kaufmann. Jonas's voice has darkened and he's more a baritone now. This is not a particularly good recording in fact it's carp I'm posting here but oh boy, his young voice is breathtaking, not so the soprano but never mind;-)

who are you going to see...

[ladybirder]

La Boheme. Taking someone who's never been to the opera as her friends don't like it (they've never been but don't like it LOL), but she's always wanted to go. Her father, now dead, used to play famous arias to her as a young girl so this is a dream come true for her, especially at the Royal Opera House. La Boheme is a good start I think.
Love this Em, one of my favourite arias, recorded in 2007.
