I love Ramin, but he's not really opera.

And hello, Mr. John Brandon. I may have to visit you at some point.

The Men of Opera



No mention of Randall Scotting?!?! I thought he would have topped the list for his performance in Ercole su'l Termodonte alone.

"I love Ramin, but he's not really opera."

If by "not really" you mean "not at all" then I agree with you. His inclusion on this list was the only thing that made me go "what?"

Otherwise it's nice to see once again that the classic stereotypical image of the fat guy (or girl) playing the handsome lead (or villain) is fading away.

No Paulo Szot? That article is useless.

Thank you so much for the link Wynbish.

I had no idea Opera had so many hunks. I am especially intrigued by Beltrn Iraburu and Anthony Roth Costanzo

I shall stop obsessing about my favourite Wagnerian Sopranos and spend some time this weekend listening (and drooling over) this link.

I do prefer listening to the female operatic voice rather than the male voice, but these pictures will help.

Here's a little Paulo Szot, who was inexplicably left off that list:

I have a soft spot for he-of-the-crazy-brows, Rolando Villazon.

And seriously, Paulo should be on there if Ramin is on there.

I never really got the appeal of Jonas Kaufmann.
