It's hardly surprising to learn that Antony Hegarty has wrapped his not inconsiderable voice around Opera favourite, Nessun Dorma. The real question here, though, is "Why?" Is he planning to move into the more diva-esque world of opera? Is he hoping to replace Pavarotti in our collective conscious? Or, worse, is he the new Paul Potts?
No, he's doing it as "a tribute to the Lavazza brand values". Yes, Lavazza coffee. The reasoning is all rather convoluted: we love to taste things, especially coffee, and this somehow links to melody, and these melodies show how great our sense of humour is ... which is why Hegarty has covered an aria for an Italian coffee company. Obviously.
