I've long regarded most female opera singers as engaging in controlled screaming, so it's interesting to hear you say this. One exception was Beverly Sills. Some of the tenors, on the other hand, are out of this world. It's the sopranos that ruin opera for me. I feel like a rube sometimes when I say this, as if I just must like opera, so to hear a music professional say this is very reassuring.
