Voting Ends Soon: Who is the hottest barihunk?

The voting is down to two Americans and one Uraguayan barihunk. Only five votes separate #3 from #1. The picture on the left is of David Adam Moore from Soldier Songs by David T. Little. The center photo is of Erwin Schrott heating up the stage as Don Giovanni. The picture on the right is of the heterosexual Nathan Gunn in a homoerotic moment from Billy Budd.

If anyone would like to see a future poll and has suggestions, please email them to barihunks@gmail.com. I have received two unsolicited suggestions already: Hottest Chest and Hunkiest Don Giovanni. I also received a number of emails excoriating me for leaving off Mariusz Kwiecien and Daniel Okulitch. Maybe we'll have a showdown between those two very different looking barihunks.

Erwin Schrott sings the Catalogue Aria

[Photo from Semper Opera Gala]

It looks like our "Hottest Barihunk" competition is going to come down to David Adam Moore, Nathan Gunn and Erwin Schrott. I'll post something from each of them over the next three days.

Here's "Hot Shrott" singing from his calling card opera, Don Giovanni. Since Schrott and Gunn both have been honored with nicknames, it's only fair that our current frontrunner for Hottest Barihunk also has a nickname:

David Adam "More, More" Moore.

Don't forget to vote if you haven't already.

Guess the Chest: Randal Turner

[B&W photo by Roberto Minarda]

A few of you guessed which baritone struts around with this hot chest. It's the uber-hunky Randal Turner showing off his stuff in public. I've added a picture of him with a shirt on and he's still every bit as hunky.

Don't forget to vote in our "Hottest Barihunk" contest to the right of this post.

Guess the Chest

Our "Guess the Crotch" feature was very popular with readers, but we haven't received any photos that warrant a second round. However, I do have this lovely picture of a barihunk's uppper torso. Can you guess the chest?

Craig Verm Showers on Stage

Here are some hot pictures of Craig Verm performing Tom Joad in Grapes of Wrath at the Pittsburgh Opera. It's nice to see the occasional shower scene in opera, especially when there are barihunks involved. I'm still waiting for an updated version of Billy Budd to the 1970s where all of the sailors are in short-shorts and no shirts. (Any German directors listening? Feel free to steal the idea).

Barihunks readers might remember Craig Verm as the guy who created a sensation playing Joseph Pitt in Peter Eötvös’ Angels in America at Fort Worth Opera. You can refresh your memory here: http://barihunks.blogspot.com/search?q=craig+verm. He shared the stage with the equally hot David Adam Moore, who is featured in the previous post.

Verm, who performs regularly in Pittsburgh, is next scheduled to sing the beautiful Faure Requiem with the Pittsburgh Concert Chorale on March 7 & 8, 2009. You can get more information here: http://www.pghconcertchorale.org/.

Also, don't forget to vote in our "Hottest Barihunk" poll to the right. I promise that Craig Verm will be in the next poll. Also, in response to a bunch of emails, Daniel Okulitch will also be in the next poll.

David Adam Moore Strips Down to His Skivvies

Watch more YouTube videos on AOL Video

David Adam Moore is the future of opera. He's hot, he can sing, he can act and he's willing to take opera in new directions. If opera is going to survive into the 21st century, then people like DAM will be leading the way.

He just wrapped up a successful run as Zurga in the Pearl Fishers in Seattle and is now headed to Pittsburgh to sing Marcello in La Boheme. In late Spring, he'll be at La Scala singing a certifiable Barihunks opera, Britten's A Midsummer Night’s Dream in a Robert Carsen production. This ought to be a special night of theater.

Enough words, check out the video as one of the hottest barihunks in the world strips down to his underwear!
