American Bel Canto tenor Lawrence Brownlee (center) in a production of Armida by Rossini. His vocals are impeccable, and he has such a range of emotion. The trio pictured have exceptional blend, and the end of the aria is breathtaking and terribly funny. What beauty!

French countertenor Christophe Dumaux in a production of Il Giasone by Cavalli. I have yet to see a sexier staging with the exception of the 2007 production Ercole su'l Termodont by Vivaldi in which Zachary Stains romps half-clad across the stage from one aria to the next.
