Mike and Vocalisters:
Boccelli sings very softly and without amplification he would not be heard as was evidenced when he appeared in Werther with Michigan Opera. His singing is an example of the classical "style" but does not represent, in my opinion, the classical approach to vocal production because he is not capable of a voice that carries in a large hall with out being amplified. This has nothing to do with the size or quality of his voice but only with developing the necessary technique to make the voice be heard acoustically.
Classical singing is, basically an acoustic art form and much less an electronic art form. In a way, comparing classical singing with pops singing is similar to comparing acoustic guitar playing (completely non amplified) with electric guitar work. -- Lloyd W. Hanson
