World's Best Tenors
Description
They are admired, courted, and raised to the Olympus of opera for their high C, the most coveted tone in the opera world. No other group of singers can fascinate more, nobody attracts more enthusiastic audiences to the opera houses than them.
Who are the top tenors of our time? How do they shape their lives on and off stage, what do these high performance athletes of vocal arts treat themselves to, and what motivates teenagers or people in their twenties to become opera singers? Is their choice of profession a result of coincidence, is their decision to become singers love at first sight, or is an opera singer's career just the continuation of a long family tradition?
44 of the most prestigious tenors take us on a personal journey, telling us about their careers, giving us a glimpse behind the scenes of the opera world, singing their „high C“ and sharing their private photographs – curtain up!
