I sing a couple of the Figaro arias - not well, but just doing Mozart at all makes me happy. I just got back from a live master class conducted by the inimitable Renée Fleming, such fun to hear people sing well!

I am a bass-baritone, with emphasis on the bass.
Never took voice lessons, only piano.

Very little to sing anyway. Other than some Russian composers, Mozart was kind.
I "could" sing "Si voul ballare" and maybe the catalog aria, and of course, a couple from Magic Flute, but I leave that to others.

Piano is tough enough.

Enjoy the heavenly music.
Senti questa!
