Leontyne Price, soprano, has a whole CD of patriotic songs including the Star Spangled Banner and I believe it's called "God Bless America". It even has ..*wince* "Blowin' in the Wind".
MArilyn Horne, Lawrence Tibbet, Nelson Eddy, Denyce graves. Renee fleming. Leontyne Price,that 911 tenor police guy who's name slips my brain. Hope that gives you a start..

Just the "Someone to watch over me" MP3 down near the bottom of the page.
Hope that helps somewhat - can't find her on the soundtrack anywhere, and from the looks of her guestbook - neither could anyone else, is why it's posted on her site.
Seeking Mr HOLLAND'S OPUS CD Authentic Version 1995. Jean Louisa Kelly sings "Someone To Watch Over Me"tickets opera theater
If I remember correctly, doesn't Julia Fordham, not Jean Louisa Kelly, sing "Someone to Watch over Me" in the soundtrack?
My six year old grandson tries to sing opera. He started this about two years ago. Recently, his mom and I were listening to Luciano Pavarotti via computer, and my grandson kept telling everyone "shh, I'm trying to listen to this". Afterward he asked very seriously, "Mom! When can we go to the opera place?" Now the problem is we live in a rural area in Missouri. Besides buying him opera artist CD's, how can I help him pursue this intrest? We have extreemly modest income.
Some opera companies have a division called Education and Outreach where a small group of singers and a pianist will tour to elementary schools to perform opera.
A school's PTA (or parent organization) will raise money or seek a state grant to pay for the performance. Since you live in Missouri, your best bet might be to contact Union Avenue Opera or Opera Theatre of St. Louis, both in St. Louis, to see if they offer a touring outreach production. They should be extremely helpful in bringing live opera to your district or certainly can point you in the right direction.
Also, I am not sure if company's will even allow a 6 year old to see most grand opera's (the Pavarotti ones contain adult subject matter) but he can certainly see most light operettas.
Below is a link to almost every accredited opera house in the US, you might have one closer to you, that may have a touring program.
Other very inexpensive resources for classical music appreciation: university/college productions and voice recitals.
How can I help my six year old grandson pursue his intrest in Opera?comedy club opera theater
make the long trip to the opera as a birthday, christmas gift for him. continue to buy the cds and dvds. talk to a local music teacher---in school and out(freelance)---they may have a few ideas as well. he may be willing to try to "earn" some of the money for these things with a few chores.
try music lessons--voice or instrument
If you go to church, get him into the choir if you can. If you have no facilities available for him to go and watch the opera, rent videos and keep buying the music. Also, can he take music lessons or voice lessons? That might either make or break his interest right there.
Whether his interest is in listning or performing opera, a familiarity in foreign language is desirable. Italian or French would be best, but any European language - German, Spanish, Latin, Russian would broaden his appreciation for musical communication.
DEAR
YOU ARE BUY HIM SOME REALLY GOOD MUSIC ALSO YOU ON LINE STORE DEEP DISCOUNT CD OR DVD STORE ON LINE THEY DO NOT CHARGE SHIPPING AND HANDING ARE TAXES I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU
TAKE CARE PS SOME TIMES SEEING THE PERSON LIVE IN CONCERT HELPS TOO.
my mum is having her birthday soon and shes wanted a cd full of opera greats, so if u have any in mind could you please list them.i am looking for songs by Andrea Bocelli, Pavarotti, anything in this type of genre. thanks so much
Andrea Bocelli has a beautiful voice, but he is not an opera singer.
If you want variety, there are a number of compilation CD's on Amazon (The #1 Opera Album,The #1 Soprano Album (I have this, it's great!) Most Famous Opera Arias, The Best of Italian Opera, etc) that will have famous aria's by sung by famous singers. There are tenor albums as well if you're looking for Pavarotti, Corelli and Carerras voices.
There are so many great opera's out there!If you want a soundtrack, I really like Mozarts - Don Giovanni, Cosi Fan Tutte, Le Nozze de Figaro and Die Zauberfl?te are all very accessible and contain famous arias.
There are also classics like La Boheme, Turandot, Carmen, anything by Verdi, the list goes on.
If your mom doesn't have much experience with opera, I would maybe buy 2 CD's if you can- 1 compilation to get an all around feel of what's out there and 1 soundtrack to hear the songs in context.
Need a list of good opera!!!?concerts opera theater
Ok, well if it's Bocelli, it's gonna be good for sure lol:)
Um, Aida is a really wonderful opera, so is Traviata.
Boris Godunov is good.
But my fav would have to be Ruslan and Ludmila.
Giuseppe Verdi: Traviata - Rigoletto - Aida-
The CD is an Italian opera and I want to know whether they have English translation of the libretto.

My mom has suddenly gotten into this opera singer guy. Im trying to find something for her for xmas, she has his cd already. What are some other opera singers or other artists that she might like?
I hate to suggest this and make these singers any money (because I personally think they suck), but perhaps she'll also like Il Divo or Andrea Bocelli. I would go a more traditional route and perhaps pick up a Mario Lanza CD (the widely available "When Day is Done" album might be a good choice). Mario Lanza was a much better singer than Paul Potts, Il Divo, or Andrea Bocelli, but he sang in the 50s so it's a tad different from the modern crap, but he had a true tenor voice. Giving a listen to all the singers I suggested on YouTube wouldn't be a bad idea and you can go from there. Good luck.
