This is a great U-TOOB playlist featuring one of our favorite
opera phenomena: mezzos playing men.
This playlist includes Sarah Connolly (a lot), Alice Coote, Joyce DiDonato,
Vesselina Karasova, Angelika Kirchschlager, Elina Garanca, Isabel Leonard,
Helene Schneiderman, and Kate Lindsey and costars some of our favorite
sopranos, too (Miah Persson in at least two!!!)!
And then check out La Clemenza di Tito from La Monnaie for more mezzos in pants. (I have a crush
on Swedish mezzo Anna Grevelius as Annio, but I am not sure if I have a crush on her, or on
him.)
