"Paul Potts Radames

A student of Ian Comboy, Paul has appeared on national and local television and radio. He has spent two summers touring Northern Italy training with one of the major opera schools, and has taken part in masterclasses with Vilma Vernocchi, Katia Ricciarelli and Luciano Pavarotti. He has also performed with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. With Bath Opera he has sung the roles of Don Basilio (Marriage of Figaro), Don Ottavio (Don Giovanni) and the title role in Verdi's Don Carlos. Future plans include the role of Chevalier des Grieux (Manon Lescaut) for Southgate Opera, London, and another concert with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in the summer. Oh yes! He also plans to get married in May this year!!!"

Uh, this guy ain't no amateur mobile phone saleman who just sings in the shower...what a disappointment.

 

[apac]

He might not be an amateur, but he sure wasn't an opera singer until this gave him some exposure. I still say bravo.

 

[Duddy]

Jesus Christ, he has opened my eyes to opera!

 

[zoiks]

I need to brush my teeth after watching that.

But if he was a successful opera singer, you think he'd still be working at a mobile phone store?
