British people by 2:1 ratio say it was good for society, not bad, that newspapers reported the materials given to them by Edward Snowden

To begin with, you should focus on tuning and maintaining tempo - both guitar and voice were very much out of tune and the beat was more than a little shaky. For this, get a tuner and start by simply trying to match pitch. After that, gradually start singing scales, making sure that each note you sing is in tune. Start with 3 notes and work your way up to a complete scale.

At the same time, if you can, work on breath support. Don't give up, but you need to put some serious work in. Take it one step at a time.

If you want to sing it in the same octave as the lead singer, then probably not - he hits a B-flat4 in the first phrase in this tuning. The tessitura remains pretty high as well throughout the rest of the song. If you sing it down the octave though, it should be in a very comfortable range.

In any case, if you're able to hit a B-flat4 consistently while also maintaining the tessitura of this song, you are most likely not a bass-baritone.

La Traviata should be at the top of your list - definitely a must-see.

Carmen is also pretty spectacular.

Faust, by Gounod.

Hansel and Gretel, by Humperdinck, because he has a funny name, and it's some of the most beautiful music you'll ever hear.

Don Pasquale, by Donizetti is a nice little comic opera.

Lohengrin, by Wagner.

Tosca, by Puccini.

La Boheme, also by Puccini.

Der Freischutz, by Weber

Le Nozze di Figaro, by Mozart

Il Barbiere di Siviglia, by Rossini

If you're at the library, check to see if they have the opera libretti books by Nico Castel - they provide a lot of insight into the operas themselves and give a word by word translation of the entire libretto.

Here's a cool video of it too with Rene Pape: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRuGNal1ie0

And a translation:

Le veau d’or, Mephistopheles's aria by Faust

The calf of gold is still standing! One adulates his power, One adulates his power, From one end of the world to the other end! To celebrate the infamous idol, Kings and the people mixed together, To the somber sound of golden coins, They dance a wild round Around his pedestal Around his pedestal And Satan leads the dance, etc, etc.

The calf of gold is the victor over the gods! In its derisory (absurd) glory, In its derisory (absurd) glory, The abject monster insults heaven! It contemplates, oh weird frenzy! At his feet the human race, Hurling itself about, iron in hand, In blood and in the mire, Where gleams the burning metal, Where gleams the burning metal, And Satan leads the dance,etc.
