Opera's #1 site: Parterre Box

If you haven't visited La Cieca's "Parterre Box" website, then you haven't experienced the online world of opera in all its glory. La Cieca's site was the first successful non-company website to focus on opera and it's insider news, gossip, titillating photos and campiness has made it the most successful site of its kind in the world. Barihunks was inspired by Parterre in many ways and everyone involved with our site first read about the barihunks phenomenon on Parterre, so we owe her a great deal of gratitude.

We'd also like to thank her for the nice plug of our Barihunks charity calendar with the seductive photo of Randal Turner, which is included in the calendar. If you haven't bookmarked Parterre yet, click HERE and do it now.

Edwin Crossley Mercer: Anderson Cooper look-a-like?

It's no secret that we're HUGE fans of Edwin Crossley-Mercer at Barihunks. We named him our "Hottest Recitalist" in our "Best of 2010" and it was as much for his artistry as his hunkiness. Last month we posted a rare video of him singing the French version of the classic song "Autumn Leaves." A reader has sent us a YouTube link for the complete recital which occurred in St. Petersburg, Russia on July 2, 2010 along with mezzo Irina Bogacheva and soprano Adriana Queros.

We were thrilled to see Mercer appearing today on our other favorite opera site, Parterre Box, where they compared him to a younger Anderson Cooper. It seems like no one can enough of him, so here is the video from Russia:

Life with Erwin Schrott

Netrebko & Schrott at home (Keith Bedford for The New York Times)

Maybe it's the power of the internet, but we saw this piece about Anna Netrebko and her barihunk husband Erwin Schrott on the wonderful opera blog Parterre Box before we saw it in the New York Times.

The operatic couple was in the feature "Sunday Routine," where Netrebko talks about her routine with "Hot Schrott" and their 2-year-old son Tiago.

One can only imagine that having Erwin Schrott fix you breakfast in his tight white tee shirt is a pretty nice "Sunday Routine." Perhaps he could throw in Don Giovanni's serenade "Deh, vieni alla finestra" to make it the perfect morning.
