"O du mein holder Abendstern" from "Tannhäuser" by Richard Wagner, performed by Thomas Quasthoff.
Thomas Quasthoff (born November 9, 1959) is a German bass-baritone generally regarded as one of the finest singers of his generation. Although his reputation was initially based on his performance of Romantic lieder, Quasthoff has proven to have a remarkable range from the Baroque cantatas of Bach to solo jazz improvisations.
Quasthoff was born in Hildesheim, Germany, with serious birth defects caused by his mother's exposure during pregnancy to the drug thalidomide which was prescribed as an antiemetic to combat her morning sickness. Thomas Quasthoff is unusually short (about four feet tall) due to shortening of the long bones in his legs, and he has phocomelia of the upper extremities with very short or absent long bones and flipper-like appearance of his hands. _________________ "If our music survives, which I have no doubt it will, then it will because it is good!"

Although I like Caballe a great deal, I must admit that Ivanova's interpretation touched me more!!

Wow, I see you've been quite busy too, wlz!
Very nice finds.
Here's a little addition of mine:
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791)
The Magic Flute
Sarastro's Aria "O Isis & Osiris", performed by the incredible Kurt Moll
in the MET, sung in German
Kurt Moll is great. He is a fantastic singer and I appreciate the link

Not entirely an opera performance, but still something with a great twist
