I'm not a great opera fan as I get sick of all those bellowing tenors (Andrea Bocelli excepted...he's gorgeous) and I get irritated by all those females who sound like they've had a hot potato dropped down their cleavage.

I do however like to listen our own Lesley Garrett, who I think has done more to bring opera to "the masses" and take the "snobbery" out of it, with her delightful "no nonsense" personality.
