New Singing Obssesion: Paulo Szot

A while ago, a friend introduced me to the newest operatic star, Paulo Szot. I heard a few of his recordings, and fell in love with his voice.


Fast forward to last wednsday when I was searching the channels guide on Direct T.V., and I see PBS is showing South Pacific on Live from the Lincoln Center. Loving this staple of American Theatre, I turn it on, in perfect time to hear Paulo Szot singing "Some Enchanted Evening"! I convinced my friend to watch it with me, and throughout the play, I fell in love with Paulo even more. His voice gorgeous, and acting suberb, the performance was simply stunning. Especially his rendition of "This Nearly Was Mine", which had a tear in my eye by the end.



All I can say is Bravo, Paulo, and I can't wait for Carmen at the Met in January
