Aretha Franklin Is Looking For The Next Great Star ... Of Opera

I don't know what to think about this story about Aretha Franklin auditioning opera singers 18 - 40.  Television contests with people singing opera makes me think of Paul Potts. The age range sounds good. Opera auditions normally stop at 30 while opera singing doesn't really hit its stride until about 40.

Well, Cecilia Bartoli took part at one of these shows at the age of 19 and this was the start for her career. When Aretha also finds someone like Cecilia, this show will be great! :)

Indeed, Charlotte. If done right it could be a lot of fun.

Did the result appears somewhere about who has been chosen?

Thanks a lot

I'm sorry. Aretha was merely fantasizing. There was no actual program.
