I listen to a very eclectic range of music.

Naturally, I adore opera music - I used to only listen to opera and nothing else for many many years!
My top singer would be Maria Callas and Franco Corelli, but there are just so many incredible voices.

Here are some examples:

Callas singing Madame Butterfly's famous aria:

Here is Neil Schicoff singing the aria from Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin, some of the most incredible singing:

And the last one, Ileana Cotrubas, a VERY underrated opera talent from Romania:

After spending years trying to 'perfect' this art form, I can really appreciate their technical finesse and beauty of tone!

Now, I've also started listening to some K-pop (Korean Pop) that I've heard in my favourite K-Drama shows. They have such good voices too, and it's a little bit simpler (of course) than opera music, so I can just relax while listening to it. When I listen to opera music, I become very focused on it and can't do anything else.

I used to listen to a bit of Japanese pop because of my love for anime, but recently I was introduced to modern Japanese hip-hop and pop and loved it!

Hikaru Utada - she makes some seriously killer hits!
