Adoro ( Italian for “I adore”, Latin for “I adore”) is a music project produced in Germany with originally five young opera singers who were selected from 200 applicants. It was launched in 2007 by music producer Andy Lutschounig from SODA MUSIC in Berlin as a classical / pop crossover project and is distributed by Universal Music under the label “ We Love Music ”. Adoro's music combines elements of opera with German-language pop songs, such as: B. “Love is everything” by Rosenstolz or “ Somehow, somewhere, sometime ” by Nena , and a large symphony orchestra .

reception

On the release of the third album Glück the Recklinghäuser Zeitung wrote: “The five opera singers from Adoro take such pop classics and transform them into classical songs, with a symphony orchestra and bel canto voices. A balancing act that is successful. "

On the occasion of a concert in 2018, the Frankfurter Rundschau ruled that the musicians "missed everything that was why they were once celebrated: to combine classic with modern in a powerful, lively and intelligent way". The arrangements are “a single sauce. Regardless of which composition the four with their velvety voices carried into the 1700-seated hall, it always turned out the same. "
