The Romantic Tenor - Singing Bel Canto

I have been working on a Donizetti Opera these last few weeks and enjoyed singing a new style. In fact I seem to have saved the day as the previous tenor dropped out and there appear to be few tenors who can sing Leicester in Maria Stuarda. Perhaps even fewer tenors from England!
I seem to have stumbled on the music that fits my voice as the role has been getting easier and has had the effect of polishing my voice. Never has it been easier to produce or sound so good.
This is a very good thing as there are very few tenors in the world that can sing this repertoire with ease. I shall be looking at the Bel Canto repertoire more closely; for those not familiar this includes Donizetti, Bellini and Rossini mainly and was brought back into popularity by Maria Callas, Joan Sutherland, Luciano Pavarotti and Marilyn Horne to name a few.
