If China ever does put on a version of Notre Dame de Paris (Matt Laurent mentioned this  as a possibilty) this guy would make a great Gringoire. he has the right  amount of power and control  to his voice.

Is it just me or does it seem like Alessandra Ferrari has the same intonations as Tina Arena? Why do English language Esmeraldas have a tendency to belt even though the music doesn’t warrant it?

 

Richard Charest as Gringoire singing Ages of the Cathedrals.

I think he sounds pretty good in English.

And news coverage (can hear Charest, Carlye, and Ferrari singing)
