An interesting observation made by Ryan Edwards in his masterclass last weekend: There are certain singers one hears in the opera house who have perfect techniques, but who are otherwise bland and mechanical. One thinks of them, "Oh, yeah, I'll have to get his/her CD"...then one immediately forgets them. What one doesn't do is long to hear them again in live opera ever again.
I wish I could "get" Cura's appeal. I just can't help suspecting that were he not so "buff" and good-looking, he wouldn't be having even a national, let alone an *international*, career.
