GREAT PHANTOMS (HERE & NOW...er--not so much "now"...):
Peter
Karrie
(You know--that guy on the lyre!)
A Chandelier In Pieces: A Tribute to Peter Karrie
Anthony
Warlow
Yes, yes, I know he hasn't been the Phantom for some time, but he stands
as one of the greatest! :)
COULD BE GREAT PHANTOMS:
Plácido
Domingo
Who hasn't heard of him? The greatest, most dramatic tenor voice of all time!
You may hear him in the recordings of Faust, Roméo et Juliette, and Otello featured in this site (he plays the title roles, bien entendu)!
Jerry
Hadley
Honestly, with that voice--there's no reason why he couldn't.
Hear him (highly recommended):
Gethsemane (Jesus Christ Superstar)
What Kind of Fool Am I? (Stop the World, I Want to Get Off!)
Che gelida manina (La Bohème)
Stranger in Paradise (Kismet)

Mario
Lanza
Not exceedingly well-known nowadays, so here are a few sound clips. In some cases, he kinda sounds like Franc d'Ambrosio ;)
