Are there any Male australian opera singers?
There was one, who was named Charles ( I don”t recall his last name) he appered on Broadway as ( the star of the Australian production) in Man of La Mancha in its waning days. at one time Robert Merrill did the role of Don Quixote, at any rate he recorded the theme-song ( Impossible dream) I hasten to add that Man of La Mancha is not an opera but a musical drama, as most of it takes place in a prison, it can”t really be called a musical comedy. The Charles Bloke ( it was a very simple name like Bates or Yates, anglo-sounding surname- was billed as part of the International Festval of Don Quixotes- an interesting tag line. Merrill was an opera singer, it is a logical guess the Charlie guy was too! I wish I had more information.
