    There are two tenor clefs: one looks like the alto clef, but it leaves an empty space; the other uses the treble clef and (I think) marks the lower octave with an eight below the clef. There are two clefs for alto as well: one is the alto clef itself, while the other is simply a treble clef...

    anyone heard of this technique before? my teacher told me lots of high tenors employ it to make their top more readily accessible. you "pinch" the back/posterior portion of your vocal folds together, and that portion does not vibrate or have air pass through it. so you essentially shorten the...

    Hello everyone, this is my first post, thanks for having me. I'm curious if anyone can recommend any audio/video on this here internet of sopranos performing tenor arias, or bass/baratone arias, either live or in the studio. I know Callas sang fragments during her Julliard sessions, which is...

    The mountain of sound of Mario Del Monaco? The combination of erudition and fire of Lauri-Volpi? The heroic masculinity, elegance and intense presence of Corelli? The sublime convergence of perfect physical abilities and lyrical sensibility of Jussi Björling. Or perhaps the hairy-chested...

    Hello all! I am a college senior, tenor, and am putting together a recital called "Songs of Home". I have plenty of suggestions in English, but am looking for ideas in other languages.

    Hello, this is my first post. I am also searching through old threads but am hoping some of you will have suggestions for repertoire, or can point me to specific threads where this may have been discussed.

    I get the impression that an "Irish tenor" is not simply a tenor from Ireland but rather a tenor who has a particular type of sound -- perhaps one that is higher than the average tenor sound or has a particular type of vibrato. Or is an Irish tenor simply a tenor who sounds best singing...

    I don't remember anymore the tenor or the opera house. But once I read that a tenor who had sung Otello the previous night participated on the next days production of La Boheme as a waiter in the second act. If I remember correctly both the audience and other singers where quite surprised. Quite...

    : I heard him on Sirius today in a live broadcast recording of Massenet's Esclarmonde. The announcer said that Sutherland remarked that his singing gave her chill bumps. That is high praise indeed, and it is justified to me from what i heard. I don't hear his name mentioned in lists of favorite...

    A while back I made threads on Di Stefano and Del Monaco. Now I noticed that I missed Franco. A wonderful tenor. He had both the looks and the voice. I just love his voice and I think that he is just what spinto tenor is all about. He could also sing softly, even though he exaggerated it...

    Yesterday in the car I was listening to a CD from the early 1990's called "Hadley and Hampson: Famous Opera Duets," featuring baritone Thomas Hampson and tenor Jerry Hadley in their primes. It made me realize again what a talented tenor Hadley was. His brightly focused yet sweet voice was...

    Opera Hour #6: Andrea Chenier - Umberto Giordano A little background: Instant success and posterity have about the same capricious relationship to one another as the Met Office to weather. Sometimes they get it right. Mostly it's more complicated. Andrea Chénier was a triumph at its premiere...
