I can’t say I’m really into classical or opera music. I mean, everyone likes a little of Pachelbel’s Canon once in a while, but it’s not my day to day listening material of choice.
There is something about it though that has some kind of effect nothing else does. Anyone doing Nessun Dorma or especially Katherine Jenkins belting out Canto Della Terra gives me goosebumps and those little pin pricks in the back of my eyes. Even my all time favourite songs (or Britney) don’t do that.

If you like Katherine Jenkins I would highly recommend Tarja Turunen, a Finnish soprano who is launching a solo career with an album later this year. She used to be the lead singer in a rock band called Nightwish, but quit and is now doing opera/soprano style songs.
If you get the chance, I really would have a listen.
