    They LIED. They titled it "Two country singers TRY to sing Opera". No, no and no. These two Country singers KILLED IT singing Opera. 🙂
    And yes, a number of people criticised their pronunciation and stuff. Well, I AM Italian, and their Italian was almost flawless. I know Italians that would have a far worse pronunciation than theirs. 🙂
    I grew up with a melomaniac father. Listened to Opera since I couldn't even talk. And this was one of his, and mine, favorite "arias": it comes from Puccini's "Turandot", and one of the most famous interpreters of this aria was Luciano Pavarotti, who is from my birth town. Well, these two guys could sing this thing pretty much in any Opera context, and rank high enough. 🙂
    I admit that the first time I watched this video I just cried... It moved me. 🥲
    And it still does, so I still have wet eyes towards the end. 🙂
    Loved your reaction. 🙂
    Pretty much overlapped mine 😅.
    Thanks, guys, see you next time!!

      The opera experts who reacted to this all loved it as a "very good as two guys who did not dedicate their whole lives to opera". They saved their professional criticisms for their own collegues and did not pull them out for this video. Also they knew if they sounded at all negative then hundreds of thousands of fans will rip them apart and may destroy their yt career.

      @@anathardayaldar Oh yes, of course there are things that can be improved. 🙂
      And of course this wasn't a live performance, I'm fully aware of this. 🙂
      But believe me, they got it better than many "not first class" Opera singers... Who sometimes owe their successo to a "non specialised" audience (well, not anymore, at least 😁).
      Especially considering that only Rob had Opera training (but at least 15 years before... and yet it's easy to see that he remembers how to do it), and Austin had only "classical training" (but not specifically Opera), I'd say that, had they pursued an Opera career, at least Rob would very likely have had one. Not as sure about Austin, he is naturally high but kinda lacks "power", but again, it would have affected him live (especially in an unplugged environment), and there are some legit opera singers that to me ain't much better than him and are quite famous. And they train for it every day...
      I'm impressed by this "attempt to sing Opera". To me, they just DID it. 🙂

    The HF guys have been asked more than once who the best singer in the group is; without fail, everybody else immediately points at Rob. 😉 Now you know why!
    Rob actually has a college degree in Vocal Performance with an emphasis/area in Opera. His voice teachers (one of whom I know personally) tried to talk him into going professional, but Rob felt he didn't have the discipline necessary and took a different route (and we are all SO blessed he did!). He did this aria for his Dad who hadn't heard him sing opera in 15 yrs and it brought him to tears. 😭
    Austin turned out a very respectable performance, too! He has a lighter, more head resonant voice (where Rob's is more chest resonant). His college major was also Vocal Performance, but with an emphasis in Musical Theater. His vocals are more of a lyrical tenor style which makes his part sound more like a great "crossover". It's actually gaining in popularity amid younger opera lovers. Rob was trained in the classical style as a heroic/operatic tenor.
    I know they were both nervous about how their fans would receive this. They shouldn't have worried! ❤🎶😳🤯 It hushed a few people who thought they were "just country singers" as if that's somehow a lesser accolade. Lol This performance proved their serious training and ability to sing whatever they choose! 😉👍
    Trivia tidbit: Adam Rupp (vocal percussion/co-founder of HF) has a degree in Trumpet Performance! He also plays keyboard, drums, and bass guitar. He's adept at musical arrangement (when the holidays roll around, check out Home Free doing his arrangement of "Do You Hear What I Hear?" It'll blow your mind!). He has a naturally sweet high tenor voice and is a master at harmonizing anything! Tim, who impresses us with his 5 octave range, has pointed out that Adam probably has the widest range in the group! He can soar with gorgeous descant high notes and that "harmonica" he does is actually his voice, just distorted to create the sound effect! Then he can drop the bass freakishly low, as well. That guy isn't human! Lol
    When God was handing out talent, these 5 guys snuck back into line a few times!! 🤯😉😁

    Rob most definitely has a talented Opera voice, and Austin is no slacker. Yes, Austin asked Rob to do this. Rob was hesitant, as he had not sung opera in over a decade. He was also worried about how it would go over with the fans. Well, no worries, as it was a SMASH HIT! Most Home Fries had the same look on their faces that both of you had. Astonished! My first reaction was (besides picking my chin up off the ground); "Say what?"

      Its like Austin really wanted to do this for the longest time, and finaly got a chance to. But he know he couldn't do it alone and convinced Rob to dust off his old past that he thought he left behind.
      Then Rob said ok, but I'm not embarssing myself to the people who know what to listen for on the high notes. He knew how limited his operatic skills are because he has the knowledge and education to know better. (Reverse Dunning Krueger Effect). So he said to Austin YOU do that and I'll back you up on the lower notes. Rob will fill out the skills base so Austin can shine.

    YES!!! This dropping today was THE best surprise ever!! SO damn happy you two reacted to this!! I'm sure some of the Homefries have commented this already, but as the story goes, Rob was initially reluctant to do this. Austin had to convince him. After Rob was done with his recording, Austin was apparently so blown away by Rob's opera vocals that he went back and re-recorded his part. They absolutely KILLED this and your reactions just made this amazing performance that much better! AJ called it with the harmonization. As Ogre said, that's actually not normally done in Nessun Dorma, but it showed off their flawless blend and just WORKED!! And for not being opera fans, the appreciation you two showed for the sheer talent and skill on display here was awesome to see! Great job as always, guys!

    The boys are singers, period. Anything they had the inclination, time, and training for they could do. That opera singing take decades of training and experience to prefect as it is so specialized and you have no leeway for individually, opera singers are judged on how closely the come to the "standards" of how opera is "supposed to be sung." Rob sounded great and Austin was surprisingly good. Austin did a song on his channel that is perhaps his best performance to date, in my opinion, Check out Austin Brown "Bring Him Home" you won't regret it if you want to see Austin bring his A Game.

    After playing lead in several of his high school productions, Brown went on to pursue a degree in music theater. His first post-college gig was singing on cruise ships, which sent him around the world - but more importantly, led him to Home Free. In 2022, two members of the a capella group Home Free, Austin Brown and Rob Lundquist, did the same. Rob studied opera in his college years, but had not sung opera for fifteen years. Austin, who studied musical theater in college, talked Rob into giving the operatic aria a try, although Rob said he’d do it only if Austin performed with him. This is the result

    Rob is a dramatic tenor, richer with a lot of depth. Austin is a lyric tenor, lighter soaring. My dad had a degree in vocal performance and sang mostly oratorio and opera. He was a lyric, transitioned into dramatic when he was in his 70s, but never lost that soaring quality. His last professional performance was at 92.

    You will see fans say "Oh, there's Opera Rob!" at different times. His training allows him to be incredibly versatile. The Adam Chance-written original for the video game "Skull & Bones" also takes advantage of all of their respective talents in some new ways.
    Rob is quite clear: this will not be performed live at a Home Free concert. The warmups for it are antithetical to performing country acapella. He enjoyed it greatly, and there may be more like it in the future, but he doesn't see returning to opera on any regular basis.
    Also, have to give a shoutout to to Steven Martinez, who provided all of the instrumental.
    (I feel like Austin looks like he should be playing Don Giovanni in the Mozart opera)

    Peter Barber is a fellow reactor and he's also done interviews with Geoff and Tim on his channel. He does reactions and analyses of videos, many of them from Home Free and VoicePlay. He's a professional opera singer and is also a member of a four-man group called The Bass Gang. They invited Tim Foust to join them for an a cappella rendition of Hooked On a Feeling, last made public in the movie Guardians of the Galaxy. Peter hadn't seen the finished product when he did a reaction/analysis of it. That one is so fun to watch and the music video itself is a total treasure. It's a total hoot that, at that point the 4 members of The Bass Gang had never met face to face. They'd send their part of a video to their arranger from the Czech Republic, Egypt, and 2 US states.

    The depth of Rob’s voice in this was a surprise to most of this.
    Austin still sounds like Austin. Which is beautiful.
    But Rob! This is Opera Rob!!! You can hear hints in some HF live performances. Most notably in their live performance of “Skull and Bones”. Who knew.
    I’m glad you guys checked it out. Your reaction is a reflection of many of ours.

    This is wow, wow and again wow. It is insane and extremely good. Fantastic. Both are doing great.
    But Rob, I'm perplexed. His voice is just magical and so rich Chills just ran through my body. It flows into my heart. He will be able to stand with the greatest of opera singers. It's not often that I listen to songs by opera singers 5 times and more in a row. But here it is. Of course I hope that both will always continue to do Home Free, but I wouldn't think it wrong that such "trips" are made more often. Opera, country, ballads, soul etc. I think anything is possible..

    Rob is university classically/operatically trained. It had just been 15 years since he had sung in that genera.
    Austin is university theatrically trained. So they both have vocal training from a university.
    Same with the great Basso Profundo, Avi Kaplan, formerly the bass for Pentatonix.
    He had recently graduated with a vocal degree from a university in California. He had already received a letter of intent to hire him as their Principle Bass from the L.A. Opera House when he got a call from Scott Hoying needing a bass for a new A Capella group forming for the NBC A Capella sing off. Avi had to make a spur of the moment decision and chose the newly forming group or Opera. He chose the new group. He remained with Pentatonix for 6 years before beginning his solo career.
    He now writes and sings Americana/Folk, Country and Western music.

    Opera Rob majored in vocal performance in college, and did a lot of opera. This was a real shocker for fans! Austin studied musical theater in college. Here he sounds like Austin singing an aria. Rob sounds like a completely different voice!

    SURPRISE !! This is so great..Robs the one who has had some training in Opera and Austin had Theatrical training. It’s not too often, but at times when two people are singing together to, take a queue, as you say from one another so they stay in unison with each other. That’s what Austin did. That’s a really hard Opera to sing alone, much less to sing in a duet.

    Some of the best Metal vocalists practise opera or are classically trained.🌹🌹❤️‍🔥🌹🌹Dan Vasc being one of them. The lead singer in Nightwish is the same.

    This is so awesome! Home Free can do anything! I’m not sure why you think Rob has the higher voice between the two of them; Austin almost always sings the higher notes and is usually introduced as the high tenor. I just discovered you so I am a new sub but a long time Home Fry. Awesome reaction! If you haven’t listened to Home Free’s cover of When A Man Loves A Woman yet (I looked through your playlist and didn’t see it), you will hear Austin’s high notes and it will blow your mind. Thanks again for a great reaction!

    I was so shocked (in a very good way) the first time I watched this video! Guys, they sang in unison in parts and only harmonized a very short time. They’re two different things. They both did an outstanding job, but Rob definitely stood out more being he had proper training during college. Austin had a little classical training, but more music theater training. Love your shocked expressions!! Great reaction!!

    Actually it was all Austin's idea and he had to convince Rob to do it. Rob was classically (opera) in college. Austin was a musical theater major college but also trained classically later on. They both were very nervous about this during the premier. Rob is the lead tenor which is the lower tenor and Austin is the sky high tenor. I really enjoyed watching your reactions to this song. You two made me laugh so much.

    Austin is using the wider mouth shape that is used in both country and pop music. If he had chosen to sing with the rounded mouth shape that Rob was using, which, of course, is the operatic style used to project the voice forward and out over a full orchestra, Austin's voice would stand with any tenor opera singer.

  • @bjspeck4337

    Lord your faces say it all! I also love Elizabeth in the Charismatic Voice. I watched Peter Barber's analysis. My first opera was when I was 16 and in Rome. They were doing Aida staged in the ruins of the Roman Baths. Stage was large enough for 2 horse-drawn chariots to run around. I had no idea what the translation was, but I did tuck that treasure into my brain and I still appreciate opera and more especially operettas.
    In English -
    None shall sleep,
    None shall sleep!
    Even you, oh Princess,
    In your cold room,
    Watch the stars,
    That tremble with love
    And with hope.
    But my secret is hidden within me,
    My name no one shall know,
    No... no...
    On your mouth, I will tell it,
    When the light shines.
    And my kiss will dissolve
    the silence that makes you mine!
    (No one will know his name
    and we must, alas, die.)
    Vanish, o night!
    Set, stars! Set, stars!
    At dawn, I will win!
    I will win!
    I will win!
