I don't know anything about opera. I've read that Klaus Nomi was a talented "Counter Tenor."
Was he actually good? Could he have been a real talent in the 1700s or 1800s, or whenever opera was at its peak?
He is mystical and beautiful to listen to. But, again, I don't know if this singing is really good or not, for the ages or not.
What I do know is that he ended up in NYC in the late '70s. His talent roughed up for the then-current times. And perhaps his sexual habits roughed up for those current times. (As an honest American gay man once recently wrote: "Being gay ain't all about rainbows and Pride parades." While, via social media propaganda, younger people have been led to believe in the latter and not the reality.)
