I’ve seen a few operas where the guy playing the “heroic” tenor role is less than heroic looking, and maybe opera should be all about the singing voice, but opera singer Zachary Stains brings a few more points of interest: His dashing goods looks, his chiseled body, and most importantly his total nudity in a performance of Ercole Sul Termodonte by Vivaldi. See caps and video after the jump [NSFW]!
UPDATE: Zachary wrote to us an asked we take down his images, so we complied. We don’t know why, as he certainly has nothing to be ashamed of!
Amazing how great music & superb voices, interaction between mass movements/single attitudes, not- at-all, or more or less clad hot beautiful bodies – male & female, essential but appropriate scenes, all together conspire to a sense of full artistic glory! A really living and acting allegory, with our warmest thanks to all of you !
he can put stains all over me
This was a production for the 2006 Spoleto Festival in Spoleto, Italy. The DVD is available for purchase at Amazon.com (and probably other sellers). I bought a copy and was quite impressed as I never knew Vivaldi wrote any operas (though this is mostly a reconstruction as several pieces have been lost). As someone else said, all of the guys are pretty damn hot and though Zack is the only one who shows off the “full Monty,” they all wear those little tunics that barely cover their packages and bottoms. Not to spoil things, but near the end, when Hercules is welcomed back into “society” and is dressed, his tunic still doesn’t cover his genitals. The head of his dick still peeks out underneath, which is unintentionally amusing. And yes, for the foot fetishists out there, they are barefoot throughout the production.
I always wonder the same thing… those fckn avi files, I can NEVER play them… I wonder why is it that so many people choose them if there are other much more friendlier formats. It’s like just to bother people…. download this codec, download that codec, figure it out if you can. FUCK avi files.
I like it… singing nude men are great.
He’s very hot but… have you seen the rest of guards??? YUM!
P.S: notice they are all barefoot
This is off subject … but I never am able to view the video clips … I hear the sound but the video doesn’t come through. Any clue as to what I’m doing wrong or am missing on my PC??
I will agree that, though very very hott and erotic, on-stage nudity done like this is also more than tasteful enough to hold the stage. The character portrayed IS Hercules, after all, and thus a heroic and artistic presentation of the nude male body is entirely appropriate. Bravo to Zachary for all his hard work, both in the studio and the gym.
totally classical, totally with taste
I’ve sung opera, and don’t remember many guys being this attractive! Some details, plz: When and where was this performance?
I’m in love!
I didnt know the opera was so sexy?
Nice dick, but is the only one nude or are all nude?????
Can someone uploads to a different format, its not opening in my Windows Media?
Now we all have to respect the fine arts here.
Not that I’m not enjoying this, I am, to a big extent.
But Ercole Sul Termodonte is respectfully a piece of art, and though I don’t object it being done nude, I feel there’s this little glitch in my head, being all my life a devoted fan to opera, I find it, frankly speaking, in appropriate.
It’s great to see him naked I know, I enjoy it XD
But just not in an opera for me – –
People are looking now, everyone, for a way to revive opera. Adding dancing parts, setting a Chinese opera in Europe, setting a European opera into Lego land.
But this is just too much XD
AW! What the heck I’m saying he’s hot and I wanna go watch it!
The two opposite sides in me is greatly debating now :p
YUM yum
I want to say something clever; but all I can think of is “hot”…
i would so love to be that costume he’s wearing. very hot.
FIRST!!! *Nice cock*
Dayum… I need to get some culture in my life and go to the opera more….
I think I’m a fan of opera now – as long as he’s in every show!
