A few great opera singers who are no longer with us, such as Enrico Caruso, Maria Callas, and Luciano Pavarotti, still have ardent followings, and you can easily find evidence of their artistry on YouTube. But there are many others whose contributions to the art form are considerable, yet who are forgotten for one reason or another. Some of their names might be familiar, but their voices are silent. For lovers of the human voice, that is a great loss.

The purpose of ForgottenOperaGreats.com is to bring these artists back to the spotlight where they rightfully belong.

In each issue we will choose a group of singers for you to listen to and explore. While recordings from the past may not reflect today’s high production standards, the artistry of these singers shines through. Join us on this voyage of discovery!
