No one managed to guess that our latest baby picture was of Austrian barihunk Paul Armin Edelmann. The popular guesses seemed to be Rod Gilfry and Teddy Tahu Rhodes.
Edelmann may be the only singer that we know of who has made Dr. Falke in Die Fledermaus sexy. After this video, perhaps we should add it to our list of barihunk roles. He also manages to sing this aria as beautifully as we've heard since Herman Prey three decades ago.
Fans of this site will be pleased to know that Edelmann has an actual barihunk role on his agenda. He's scheduled to sing Papageno in both Beijing and at the St. Margarethen Opera Music Festival.

Beautifully sung, but he has some way to go to match the peerless Mr Prey, unforgettable at Covent garden in the early 80s. I can think of lots of sexy Falkes too - Ben Luxon, Tony Michaels-Moore to name but two
