Micheal Bolton is an excellent operatic singer in addition to his success as a pop singer. Of course " Excellent " is my opinion, and I know very little about opera but I was impressed.

I only recently "found" the beautiful voice of Michael Bolton. I now own most of his cd's and a few dvd's. He does sing Opera beautfully. If you love his voice then you will be pleasantly suprised at his ability for Opera.

While not I did not think this was his best work. He Performed these arias with as much love and Passion as he puts in all his work. the Dedication is clearly evident. if you enjoy this work as I do you will love the work he has written even more. Michael is a very serious artist. he is still putting together some amazing work like this
