I am well aware of my "eccentricity" in making so many groups,.However I keep careful track,and many people belong and/or have looked at the posts, and many have added their own knowledge. I do cast blame of my need for activity, given the Pandemic and my refusal to wear a mask at Parsifal. But I do see an incredible variety of operas,singers,etc. and so my "education" at my advanced age seems to be helpful..If ever,you want to tell me to go back to knitting..let me know. I will also let you know the most popular..So far Baritones and Basses have over 1600...and 455 for Zinka,despite her liking only herself. GROUPS Puccini Mozart Rossini Wagner/Strauss Ring Misc.German Italiana French Scandinavian Hispanic American English Greek Romanian Jewish Black Ukranian Bar/Bass Past Divas Countertenors Flashing OUCH ZZZZZZ High/Low Died young Trios Verismo Bel Canto Singer Friends Treasures Shakespeare Fun POP Rare works Conductors Better Known Milanov Resnik Gigli Need any URL's??Let me know.

When I discovered opera,I bought many Cetra-Soria records (not cheap!!).I loved Mario Filippeschi..Not a voice of gold..but so exciting.Also, Virginia Zeani told me how she loved the guy. This is in the HIGH key.

Dennis Orellana, male soprano, sings this better than Sutherland. Nowadays,there are many male sopranos and countertenors.

I do not think there are too many great singers, but I find Sondra Radvanovsky-Lear and Piotr Beczala very special and they are so kind and friendly to me.The "rare" selections near the end are from Halka and the Rusalka duet.
