CineStef adores Rockwell Blake

Aria: Terra Amica
Opera: Zelmira (1822)
Composer: Gioachino Antonio Rossini

Ok, like, how much air do this man's lungs hold?
I remember seeing this performance live on the air on February 29, 1992!
After watching this, we were all left gasping for air!!!
...and he just makes it look so easy!!!
Note: He hits a high Do after 13 seconds and then continues with coloraturas for another 10 seconds and all with one breath.
Enjoy even if you don't like opera!
Rockwell Blake is the ultimate male Rossini singer. No doubt about it!

Wanna see more?
Wanna hear him hold the last note for 19 seconds?
Press here!
