Highly Fashionable Opera Divas On The Cover Of A Magazine

Kathleen Battle (Japan, 1992)
Barbara Hendricks (Paris, 1987)
Anna Netrebko (Russia, 2012)
Renée Fleming (USA, 2005)



































It's pretty typical to find opera sopranos gracing the covers of industry magazines in glamorous gowns and jewels, but it is a rare sight to see these divas go mainstream with coverage the likes of Tatler, Vogue, Esquire, and Town & Country. Here we have some wonderful samples of ladies who truly reached the zenith of popularity and gave good face for these leading publications. We didn't forget the men. Be sure to check out a special cover (not for the faint of heart...) after the jump. 
Bryn Terfel appears on the cover of Scanorama magazine in 1996. 

EXTRA BONUS:

Although not on the cover, style-maven Dmitri Hvorostovsky did appear in Russian Vogue 2012 sporting Tom Ford. Check out more pics and a video of the photo shoot by clicking here.
