Product description. Opera Babes Beyond Imagination. Plucked from a wet afternoon of busking Bizet and Puccini to passersby on the Piazza in Covent Garden in the spring of 2001, soprano Rebecca Knight and mezzo Karen England soon found themselves singing in slightly larger venues: the FA Cup and Champions League soccer finals. That the management company doing the plucking had recently performed a similar Cinderella crossover act for Russell Watson offered portent, and indeed the Babes-the moniker began as a joke-were soon on their way to this recording debut. The Opera Babes are a crossover classical music duo, consisting of Karen England born 1974, mezzo-soprano, and Rebecca Knight born 1970, soprano. The duo came to wide attention when they sang Un bel dì vedremo from the opera Madame Butterfly on television sports programmes, beginning in 2002. In addition to performing with major orchestras in Britain and touring with their own shows, they released their first album, Beyond Imagination in 2002 and their second album, Renaissance, in 2006. As such, this debut album offers an assortment of decidedly unconventional versions of popular arias and familiar themes. Selections such as Puccini's Un Bel Di, Delibes's Flower Duet, Orff's O Fortuna, and Verdi's Vittoria, as well as adaptations of melodies by Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, and Dvorak, among others, boast eclectic arrangements that showcase the diverse imaginations of producers such as Frank Gallagher, Anne Dudley, and Jim Steinman
