Hunk 10, Tenor 3
A gifted amateur by the name of Izzy Anderson takes on Verdi's Duke of Mantua.
Mr. Anderson is one of the regulars on the must-see Wenarto YouTube site. (That's the celebrated Wenarto himself conducting this selection, though usually he is found center stage.)

OK, we now know the Duke's(really King Francis I) first name was Izzy. Is this what he sang to Gilda in the palace bedroom?
Just watch, he'll be singing Normanno-- with one performance as Arturo-- at the Met next season.
Then... he was really singing? By the way, I've heard things like that in opera theaters, so I supose we could give him a chance... if he improves his Italian.
Yes, yes: I should improve my english, too.
Sorry I didn't notice, was he singing?
why, I swear that is Tony Pappano"accompanying"?!
muta di xento? i di pensiiiiir?
Anyway, i´d pay a very expensive ticket for that duca!
He sing pretty someday!
I like this one too!

A little less confident, but the visual is just as enjoyable.
He scats the cadenza at the end of this version!
WE NEED MORE OF HIM ON THIS SITE! Perhaps Salome?............Or Some of Rosenkavelier (the all male version)?............
I would be happy to work with him on his support, diction and help him access those ellusive high notes so he can move up to the real key.
I am nice that way!
Best,
Erstegeiger
P.S. Check out the Immolation scene of wenarto who posted those vids to youtube FANTASTIC PRODUCTION VALUE and TRUE COMMITMENT!

One thing I have to say, I love the butch guy in a sarong look. Kind of Nick Lachey meets Dorothy Lamour with a dash of Russell Watson on the side.
I need to know more about this Izzy Anderson, much, much more.
Thank you, Cieca for alerting us to this appetizing new talent in the operatic firmament.
Never mind the singing, what we have here is the oldest trick in the showbiz book- if you're fugly, take your top off.
Is he "ugly" amerjaquino? I suppose you are a bloody oil painting?
I'd be happy to give him some very personal voice & stage movement lessons. With special attention, uhm, to opening up the top of his voice
Well, it's a shame that Eleanor Steber is dead, because instead of her live at the continental baths, we have the baths live for her. He's kinda cute in a fratboy sort of way. But he reminds me of two previous threads. The one where we discussed whether or not sucking dick was good for the throat - I volunteer for him to practice one. And of course...wait for it.... "Penetrating Wagner's Ring".
Holy Crap, that was really funny.
Y'all really must peruse his other youtube deposits and look especially for this rendition of "E lucevan le stelle." I am not exactly certain what is transpiring between Maestro Wenarto and his shirtless henchmen, but it looks to be a rather fun way to spend Saturday afternoon at the frat house.

I agree with LC that he's a gifted amateur. His six pack and pecs are particularly gifted.
I don't know about the singing but he's cute as hell. He could be a big star. Heck, Netbreko doesn't sing any better than that and she and her breasts are big stars, too. His abs and pecs certainly match her tits.
Forget the abs and the singing. That goofy smile is the nicest thing I've seen on the internets in ages.
Watch out Stephen Costello...Looks like you're old news on Parterre Box!
I stand corrected. His smile is even more gifted than his pecs or abs. But I really do think that he should sing more Mozart at this stage of his career. ;-)
Jeez, one could learn so much about diaphragm support by staring at his abdomen for hours and hours. And hours...
Mr.Gelb would like to talk to you about a new production.
well, if you guys think he's hot, check out www.jamesvalenti.com.
Heath Ledger has been found dead.
Horrible news about a fine actor and a terrific young man.
He's just as good as Stephen Costello, dontcha think? And I understood every word, which proves (as I've always stated) that I am entirely fluent in Bad Italian. Really Bad Italian.
I love it -- even though you kinda wished the towel just slipped off -- or is that just me...
hey Lick, jealousy is so awful.
This is a cure rank amatuer. Costello is a fabulous young singer....get over it.
Of course,this a joke! Someone volunteered to help him with what, and what for? He defintely sings better than Netrebko, but she makes big bucks enough to bribe all the London critics. He'll never see a penny, not even a counterfit!
James Valenti sang Alfredo in Toronto. He has a good voice -- warm though thin at the very top -- but he's not great and sings with little subtlety. His striking looks will get him roles.
The news about Heath Ledger is so sad and shocking. I think he was magnificent in Brokeback and few film characters have had an impact on me like Ennis Del Mar. That charcter will probably become even more iconic with his tragic death.
Ah yes, the newest member of Il Divo, non?
Has anyone thought to check on Tony T's blood pressure since this strapping, robust youth been posted here?
He has a point, though, women really are as fickle as a puma in the wind.
rotflmao @ andy -- grazie!
That vile God Hates Fags brigade have announced that they're going to be picketing Ledger's funeral.
Do you think someone ought to tell the brain-dead idiots that plane tickets to Australia are really quite expensive?
What did Heath Ledger die of?
MEIN GOTT!!!!!Zinka and I were looking down (UP???) and saw this....(You think the Internet is not far-reaching???). I think his Italian needs a slight improvement..but of course he is not a handsome hunk like me..and he has no high C..I still do..ask Pertile....
Wait till Zucker gets down here..I'ill teach him...
I am visualizing Joe Tito singing to Zinka. Someone should stop Izzy before he puts his video of him doing Di Quella Pirra on utube.
Oh shut it and gimme that towel.
@Nanaka: the line starts here.
Okay, Sanford, I watched James Valenti and listened to an aria or two. Hot, NO. Tall, yes, and he's stolen the open shirt off Mariusz Kwiecien's, er, front. And he sings better than Izzy. Decent provincial (think: possibly El Paso, not Dallas or Houston yet) tenor.
But hot? No.

WHO IS SHE? WHO WAS SHE? WHO DOES SHE HOPE TO BE? ENOUGH SAID
Hans Lick, I woulodn't kick him out of bed for eating crackers. At this point in my life, I wouldn't kick anyone out of my bed for eating crackers. Oy! Well, if you didn't like him, I have a hunkonductor for you (I made up that word). I would like to sing under the baton of this conductor.

My fave pic is the one in the cycling gear. Spandex, you know.
this boy can gyrate his hips but he can't sing. there's another vid of his on youtube singing a pop tune (follow through) and he can't even sing that.
what's izzy short for? isidore? now that's a manly boy name.
of course, if i'm ever in the hospital, i'd want him to be my nurse (see lacieca's follow-through post).
