Greg Pritchard Brings Opera to “Britain’s Got Talent”
According to Woman Honor Thyself, the aria “Nessun Dorma from the final act of Giacomo Puccini’s opera Turandot”, is sung by a Prince who has fallen in love with an almost unattainable princess and he has a riddle to figure out, otherwise he will be beheaded. The first winner of Britain’s Got Talent, Paul Potts performed it. It is a very difficult aria, but a young modern looking, stylish, and, I might say, roguish, young man, Greg Pritchard performed it to even higher perfection to the amazement of all. He looks more like a rock star.
According to Patricia at Celebrity Right Pudit “The 24-year-old Greg Pritchard pictures himself completely outside of the usual classifications of male voices, though acknowledging that his voice would be classified a countertenor in the Baroque era of music…(and) he is from Usk, Monmouthshire, Wales where he is a hotel waiter.”
Greg doesn’t seem to have any professional singing experience, he says he sings around the house. With his unusual high range, some speculate that he’s a transvetite.
