Part of my occasional series on destroying the ugly opera singers myth.

For broadband users, Angela Gheorghiu looking unbelievably gorgeous in a music video.

She's gorgeous. Great idea BTW I don't undersstand that stereotype. So many opera singers are so lovely. Angela Gheorghiu, Anna Netrebko, Magdalena Cozena, Natalie Dessay... I wrote an article on the way that stereotypes of opera singers are changing (or should be!)

I think people with no knowledge of opera tend to go for the Opera = Wagner equation. And because the Wagner stereotype is large, strident women in helmets, it becomes Opera = Ugly Women. :sigh:

Do you have link to that article (is it online?) because I'd love to read it.

I suppose you're right.
The article isn't online yet but should be in a few months. I'll post a link then :)
