Operatic pop
Operatic pop is a subgenre of pop music that is performed in a classical operatic style. Conversely, a song, theme or motif from classical music may be stylized as pop. The term “popera” is used by some media editors and music reviewers.
Popera performers may be completely untrained singers, who would never be eligible for employment in an opera house singing in a live opera, or they may be fully-trained classical singers 'crossing over' in search of greater popular recognition.
