By Ronald Richardson


Nowadays, the music had been evolving and many people are now listening more on to pop music. However, humans should still not sleep on other genres too. Just like opera music, more likely it has less population of listeners. Perhaps you have no idea of some musicians catering to that. But this article will provide you famous male singers with golden voices. Perhaps you have known others. Nevertheless, knowing them might surely enthuse you about classical opera singers.

Placido Domingo. Placido is really notable and a Spanish singer with spinto voice that moved into dramatic tenor. He won several awards included Grammy as well as Latin Grammy. Aside from that, he is also an arts administrator and a conductor. Placido is noted for his best performance in Hoffman, Canio, Cavaradossi and Don Jose. In addition, he is also part of The Three Tenors with Luciano Pavarotti and also Jose Carreras. Their collaboration had become successful and famous.

Dmitri Hvorostovsky. Not only his striking looks will astound you but also baritone voice which made him worldwide famous. Dmitri is a Russian artist and his international debut started in 1989 for he won a competition and beat another famous opera singer. The Peoples magazine has also included him in the rankings of most beautiful people. He also made a collaboration with Renee Fleming in Eugene which became one of his best acts.

Jose Carreras. Another Spanish singer who also became notable in his career. Jose is very known for his acts in Verdi as well as Puccini. His operatic career began when he was still eleven and then as time went by, he achieved performing over sixty roles. Like Placido Domingo, he as well is part of Three Tenors.

Luciano Pavorotti. Another singer from Three Tenors and one of the timelessly most successful tenors in this genre. He was also called as King of High Cs and performed many collaborations with different famous artists outside from this genre. Furthermore, he contributed also in making operas expanded worldwide. But unfortunately, he did not live long because of his pancreatic disease though his fame and contributions still carry on.

Andrea Bocelli. In classical music history, Andrea became the biggest-selling singer and been dubbed as king of classical crossover. He completely became blind when he was twelve years old due to accident. He collaborated with Celine Dion in a song, The Prayer, and it won a Golden Globe Award.

Lawrence Brownlee. Lawrence is an American tenor who got several positive reviews from both audiences and musicians from his voice. He also got praise from his performance in Armida together with Renee Fleming and his several engagement with Metropolitan Opera. His best works includes his performance in La Centerola in which Elina Garanca is part of that.

Philippe Jaroussky. So have you heard a male with mezzo soprano voice? Probably not, but Philippe is an example of that. You might cringe at hearing boys doing some high notes but this guy has perfect technique, making him sound beautiful. He has been doing many operas which proves the versatility of his voice.

These men are certainly talented. They also helped in making this genre spread. Hopefully, another talented opera musician will emerge.
