Young Brisbane tenor, James Smith who performs under the stage name James Corona is a gentle giant with a voice as big as he is (6ft 10" or 208cm tall!). James has only been singing opera arias since early 2008 but has enthralled seasoned musicians and opera-goers alike - as well as audiences who have never before been fans of this kind of music
Friends and family always knew he could sing. But it was not until he started singing segments from an Italian opera CD his uncle gave him in 2007 that he or anyone else realised his ability and joy in singing this music
James Corona performs at Bastille Day Grand Dinner Ball Brisbane 2008 before Queensland Premier Anna Bligh to a standing ovation.

Tom Burlinson (Man from Snowy River) - "You have a God given voice there"

Neil (Scoble, Graham wedding Father of the Bride) - He is probably the most amazing singer I have ever heard live, every bit as talented as any big names in the business..
