We would need to hear him live to make that assessment. Fritz Wunderlich had a
high lyrical voice which wasn't big and he did well.

Bocelli's technique is fine, he wouldn't get through his passagi as well as
he did if it was not. It's just a smaller voice that in times gone by would
have been able to sing in smaller opera voices. Bigger houses eliminate his
voice type from having a chance therefore, for him, he made the right
decision as where to go with what he has and it's paid off handsomely ...
more power to him.
