Rob was amazing! Austin did a fantastic job also. Love them!

[@jeffk1482]

A couple professional opera singers I follow were shocked by this. FYI - my *understanding* (could be wrong) is that Rob actually had opera training in college…but hadn’t done anything with it in years. Also my understanding is that Austin has contemporary musical theater training. He didn’t try to “fake” full opera, and instead delivered a really wonderful modern stage rendition. Like pretty much everyone, I was stunned at how well they did this together.

[@MrsRealistic]

Thanks for that info! Yes, this was pretty outstanding for a couple of "country dudes" LOL!

[@lynnramsay8821]

Your info is correct.

[@patriciamcl54]

A commentator familiar with the course Austin followed explained that in that school the opera kids and the music theatre kids took many of the same classes, the music theatre kids were held to the same standard as the opera singers (both following classical training) and all of them had to prepare the same audition pieces for the college shows, both opera and musicals. Most of what was studied was not modern. His teachers wanted him to switch to opera but he decided against it. Those not familiar with modern opera think that there is such a thing as an "opera voice" - a showy dramatic tenor, overblown like the dreaded Pavarotti. But in contemporary music, and in European countries where there is a tradition of concert singing, a lyric tenor like Austin would make a fortune, as a reactor with a background in opera explained.

Rob studied Opera in college and Austin has a musical theatre degree, and Austin had been pestering Rob to do and they finally....it's so dang pretty

[@MrsRealistic]

I'm glad they did!

[@vickiadkins9844]

Rob is crazy good!

[@minneyruth]

Wasn't that freaking fantastic 👏 ❤❤❤

[@MrsRealistic]

Absolutely stunning!

[@susanengland3919]

Rob had training in opera, but hadn't sung it in 15 years. When Austin asked him to record something he said he would if Austin would sing also.

[@kmwwrench]

So proud of them for doing this. They were quite scared that their fan base wouldn't like it. Ha!

[@MrsRealistic]

I think the true fans, even if opera isn't their thing, can recognize the amazing talent!

[@teresacartwright5406]

In an interview with Patrol Gaming, Austin said he really wanted to show off "opera Rob"; however, Rob said he wouldn't unless Austin sang it with him. He went on to say that he thought he'd been okay but that Rob was fantastic. I love how they support each other. Rob had extensive opera training, Austin had some; however, his degree is Music Theater.

[@patriciamcl54]

Music Theatre at the school where Austin studied meant classical training to the standard of the opera students, and preparation of many of the same pieces. Austin has a fine lyric tenor voice, which these days is more in demand than the traditional Italianate voice.

[@marshac7738]

Such a treat! But seriously, Rob sounds like a different artist than we hear when he sings with Home Free! I don't care for opera, but these two "tried" and did what I didn't expect--they made me want to watch it over and over again. Who knew? 🤭 #RobLundquist #theAustinBrown

[@MrsRealistic]

Exactly! I'm not a huge opera fan, but these guys killed it!

[@williecoulter1091]

I have watched this clip many times and get goose bumps and tears every time! Only thing that is annoying is that the title says TRY singing Opera, they are not trying but ARE singing Opera magnificently. 👋👋👋👋👋👋

[@MrsRealistic]

Exactly! As Yoda says, "Do, or do not, there is no try!" And it holds true in this case! They didn't try at all, they just DID IT!

[@bernieregnier4500]

The legendary status of our Home Free vocalists just keeps mounting to greater accolades that is very deserving of our attention. They are simply amazing and yet they are very humble. It is a privilege to enjoy their vocal gifts!!!! ❣

[@maryrichardson1318]

Just goes to show that a talented singer with a well trained instrument(his/her voice) should be able to pretty much sing anything.

[@princessButtercupp]

Now you have to listen to Tim Foust do will you still love me/stay. ALL the home free guys are crazy tallented

[@HomeFry1974]

Thank you for the Home Free reactions!! I hope you jump into their rabbit hole & also check out Austin Brown's solo work. Welcome to the #homefries 🍟

[@MrsRealistic]

Thank you!

[@dagmar.6954]

Great reaction! I have never been a big fan of opera except maybe some Andrea Bocelli & a few others. But I have always appreciated the talent it takes to sing opera. I was pretty impressed with Rob & Austin's version of Nessun Dorma. I have heard this famous song done by Pavarotti. I think I was more surprised by Rob's range & powerful delivery than even Austin's. Pretty good for a couple of country boys! Nice to see them dressed up in suits & looking classy. Rob had some opera training about 15 years ago & Austin has been trained in musical theatre.

[@MrsRealistic]

My mum used to listen to Pavarotti. I'm not much of a fan of Opera...but as you said, I can recognize the immense amount of work and talent it takes to sing like that! And they looked quite spiffy in their suits!

[@OcotilloTom]

Country Boys can survive...and sing too! El Mirage, Arizona

[@pamscarr8696]

Both of them trained. Robed is trained in Classical/Operatic vocals Austin is trained in theater vocals. There is also a former Pentatonix bass, Avi Kaplan who is trained in Operatic singing. You never know what might be the vocal background of a singer.

[@MrsRealistic]

I certainly was surprised! 😆👍

[@WNYretiree]

Yeh, surprised me, too, the first time I heard them. Both obviously very talented singers.

[@rllangevin3841]

These #HomeFree guys are just incredible and can sing anything. Great reaction! Please keep the Home Free reactions coming!

[@MrsRealistic]

Will do! 😁

[@jankreps5115]

Rob has had some classical training. In an interview Austin revealed that robs voice has the same wavelength as Pavarotti when singing opera! It’s so much fun to see a different side of these two great singers! Nice reaction

[@MrsRealistic]

Thank you! This was so cool to see a different side!

[@lindareynolds8430]

#HOMEFREE...so talented!

[@user-qp8jh9vl7v]

Oh, I remember my " Wait...What!?!" Moment when I first heard this one. It was just so unexpected. Beautiful! Thanks for the Home Free reactions. Have you seen Austin and Tim sing " My Maria" in a backyard yet? Worth a look and listen.

[@MrsRealistic]

I wish I could just go watch a bunch of their videos... but I have to wait so I can share it on here! 😆 such is the life of a "reactor" 😄

[@justlinsu]

Yes Rob had some operatic training in his younger days. Looks like he hasn't forgotten a thing lol Just sublime.....Love your channel....Hi from Australia

[@MrsRealistic]

Thank you! Cheers from Texas 🍻

[@anitawright7169]

This is gorgeous! The first time I heard this I almost fell off my chair. They are so very awesome! Love your reaction!♥

[@MrsRealistic]

Thank you so much!! It was a treat to hear this different side of them!

[@patriciavernon9795]

Love that they did this! These boys can sing anything! ❤

[@barbarakennedy2667]

I am glad that you finally got to this one. I know you are going to be amazed.

[@jukeboxdave6026]

Great reaction love Pavarotti my favourite singer of all time - this was amazing love and respect from the UK 👍👍🌟😀😀 amazing channel 👍

[@MrsRealistic]

Thank you 🙌

[@brettanthonypalmer2956]

Gott mit uns !

[@janhankins911]

Rob is classically trained in opera. If you want a different take on this aria, check out Dan Vasc's cover. This was written for a tenor and Dan Vasc is a baritone and it's really quite something to hear a baritone belt this out.

[@roberthudson1959]

Both took voice lessons at the university level, so they are classically trained. Lundquist has much more classical training than Brown, and neither had performed classical music in years.

[@LisaC.-mebugyou]

“Playing with fire” is one of theirs and one I think you would enjoy

[@MrsRealistic]

Thank you! 😁

[@carolmcconnery8879]

This performance has put these two gentlemen in a higher bracket. Well done guys totally enjoyed thanks for sharing

[@tygerbrite]

Great that you appreciated this so much. I don't know why, but the ending always makes me laugh. It's partly the way the music comes up, but also maybe in relief that they got through it on such a "high note".

[@MrsRealistic]

It was fabulous! I love that they stepped out of their "comfort zone"!

[@tinapatterson5022]

✌

[@michellejackson6679]

I love Austin,, but Rob is the voice here..

[@MrsRealistic]

Yeah he killed it!

[@irmaoksanen6830]

That was great. Made me think of Catholic Mass done in Latin which I think would be awesome.

[@MrsRealistic]

That would be cool!

[@glowormrdr6183]

Always makes me cry. So glad they did this. Home Free fan in Los Angeles. 🥲

[@connieharmon2408]

❤❤❤

[@jeffreyjacobs390]

For the record ..... ONLY AUSTIN (Tifton, Georgia) is a "COUNTRY BOY" .... Rob is a Minnesota fella from the City ! They are both phenomenal singers .... Rob has the formal training in College - neither have done any Operatic work .... until this project.

[@MrsRealistic]

They didn't disappoint!! 🙌

[@glendamcgrady1244]

Surprised, but not much!

[@pickin4you]

Rob has classical training and can roll his R’s, but Austin has not been trained that way and cannot roll his R’s. Rob actually sounds like one of the three tenors.

[@MrsRealistic]

He sure does!

[@patriciamcl54]

Sorry, but many Italian commenters praised the pronunciation of both men.. Austin did quite a lot of opera at college and in any case anyone with a trained voice can roll their Rs.

[@xboxbml]

Yeah Rob was trained a bit..

[@patriciamcl54]

More than a bit. Both were classically trained to degree level.

[@user-rx5zt8zv6o]
